@konrad This reminds me of a joke told to me by a bass-playing friend:
A kid decides he wants to learn how to play the bass, and his dad signs him up for lessons. After his first lesson, his dad asks, "So what did you learn today?" The kid says, "I learned this note and this note," and shows his dad.
After his second lesson, he comes home and his dad asks him the same question--"What did you learn today?" "I learned this note and this note, Dad!" Dad is suitably impressed.
After his third lesson, he comes home--same question from his dad, same answer. "I learned this note and this note!"
After his fourth lesson, the kid doesn't come home. His dad waits up all night, and his son finally straggles in around five in the morning. His dad is furious. "Where the hell have you been all night? I've been worried sick!"
The kid looks at his father, shrugs, and says…
"It's cool, Dad. I got a gig."
