>I'm a newbie, trying to finally understand the nuances of some of your (PLURAL) cracks/ jokes "disses" among the Trad Jazz musicians concerning the "B- - - busting that goes on and apparently has gone on over the ages. I play nothing, but used to.... in junior HS...I have, during the past 4 years, been exposed to some of the very good people involved in this genre and sometimes haven't "gotten the jokes".  Please humor me, I'm not stupid, but I didn't to realize that apparently, any banjo player or  a lengthy drum solo seems to be the easiest and most prevalent targets.  I wanna get all of the jokes.  I heard recently, that a sop sax was called a fish horn.  Bill Taggart explained that insult to me.  I want to fit in and not just laugh to be polite.  Would all of you(some of you) (any of you) (1 of you) (my mother) please teach me or give me a few stories about this subject.  I really haven't heard about insults  to  brass  players or piano players... Please treat me (as I am) as if I know none of these jokes or "chop busting among the pro's".   Thanks.
