The name of this book is no exaggeration. It includes some of the most gorgeous music that the authors El McMeen and Sandy Shalk know. To make things even more interesting, none of the music was originally written for guitar.In addition to Celtic favorites, El includes his arrangements of two of the most beautiful arias in all of opera: "Che Gelida Manina" from Puccinis "La Boheme" and "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" ôMon Coeur Souvre ? ta Voixö from "Samson and Delilah" by Camille Saint-Sa?ns. Sandys contributions range from Celtic to French love songs to Stephen Foster, manifesting Sandys gift for chordal subtleties and innovation.Each piece is in either standard tuning EADGBE or Drop D tuning DADGBE .Written in standard notation and tablature with computer generated audio files of each arrangement.
Whimsy and fun are terms rarely associated with the legal profession, but El McMeen and Steve Baughman are not your typical lawyers. Steve came up with the idea for a joke: "Two snowflakes walk into a bar." El jumped on it. A flurry and then a blizzard of snowflake jokes from El ensued. The result is this "essential handbook of snowflake jokes." Get ready to chuckle, laugh, guffaw, and, yes, groan!
Take a common aggravation. Your cat misbehaves. Or you suffer indignities while driving. Or at the supermarket. Or at the doctor's office.You grumble a bit, but then have an idea: "Holophrasis!" That means using one word to capture the situation! Hmmm. Let's deploy or invent an amusing word, and have some fun with misery!That's just what El McMeen does in this rib-tickling book.You'll be LOL and nodding in agreement as you enjoy it!Examples:You are at the grocery store, and another customer is doing dumb things and clogging the aisle. You have encountered "Dopeandhoggin!"When your cat refuses to use the scratching pole, she is practicing "Polavoid!"When the tailgater passes you at warp speed, you are experiencing the feeling of "Mayacopseeya."¿The book also deals with euphemisms - taking difficult subjects and making them sound nice and pleasant. El shares his two favorites in the book, one having to do with airplanes landing and one having to do with drugs (legal ones).There are plenty of others that will have you chuckling, and making up your own holophrases!
