Do you have a nickname for instruments you own/play?

Just curious. One of my recent acquisitions has been afforded a pet name and didn't know if this was a thing amongst musicians.

Well, yeah, that's what I was thinking the beef's purpose was. I still don't know anyone who intentionally adds beef broth to a seafood dish.

Crawfish Étouffée with...beef broth???

Posted by Degas on 1/7/26 at 4:34 pm

From the Louisiana Crawfish Company

In my decades of living in LA, I've never heard of this but would expect this variation to come from outside Louisiana, perhaps a Rachel Ray recipe or something like that. I've never heard of Cajuns using beef stock instead of shellfish stock (or even chicken). Is this a thing? Anyone heard of this before? Any advantages to taste or texture? Perhaps a beef stock might add a little more body because of the collagen but I'm not seeing any reason not to use shellfish stock.

Grade school...buttered corn. I could smell that from any room in the building.

When I was a struggling musician, I spent what seemed to be a fortune on my TASCAM 4 track recorder. I still have it, but it's virtually useless to me with new technology.

What does this have to do with the music board?

The Pretenders referenced her in Message of love...

"When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh, it's good, good, good
Like Brigitte Bardot"

A Chef friend of mine said that you're inevitably going to have bits of shell sometimes and if you pick through it, it's no longer jumbo lump.

What's interesting about that band is that I've heard every song of theirs over the decades but could probably name only five of them by title.

I had a Best of Ralph Records (label) cassette tape which rarely left my Walkman. The Residents, Yello, Chrome, Art Bears, Tuxedo Moon and a bunch of other interesting bands were on mix.

He absolutely killed it this past tour, especially with songs from their new album.

Gonna miss him.

I was at the doctor's office and in the waiting room were sick people just trying to find some peace, and some dude pulls out his phone and starts playing youtube vids at full volume.
