All You Need to Know About My Gig Tuesday Night, in Five and a Half Limericks

There once was a guy who played trumpetwhile eating a jam-covered crumpetSo Jon Arkin's bass drumcollected many a crumbAnd his pedal was too sticky to thump it.We'll play from 5:30 to 9ishAnd the music will be extra fine-ishSo pull up a stooland act really coolWhile you pound 15 glasses of wine-ish.There once was a saxophonist named Evanwhose sound was a small slice of heavenBut the House of Shields crowdcan be wicked loudSo now his horn goes to eleven.And then there's the famous Fred RandolphTouch his bass and he'll bite your handolphHe drowns out the picketersand fights parking ticketersSo you see why he's still My Main Mandolph.We still haven't gotten a pianoThough I'm trying as hard as I can-oWe're sure to get someoneSo don't be a glum oneBut I hope you like Ornette Coleman-o.There once was a bar on New MontgomeryWhere audiences do want-gum-ery...

... anyway, see you there.
