SAN GERALDO WAS stumped.
"Is there a musician whose last name is 'YuhYOmuh'?" he asked.
"What?"
"Well, I don't have the first letter filled in yet, but the clue is 'Musician whose first name is a toy,' and the name ends with 'O-Y-O-M-A."
"YoYo Ma?"
And, yes, we both burst out laughing. YoYo Ma, too.
SAN GERALDO ESTABA perplejo.
"¿Hay algún músico cuyo apellido es 'YuhYOmuh'? preguntó.
"¿Qué?"
"No tengo la primera letra todavía, pero la pista es 'Músico cuyo primer nombre es un juguete' y el nombre termina con 'O-Y-O-M-A'."
"YoYo Ma?"
Y, sí, nos dos rompimos a reir. YoYo Ma, también.
I love that you guys do the crossword puzzle!
ReplyDeleteJudy:
DeleteOh, I hate doing crossword puzzles with anyone. I do MINE alone. Jerry does his quietly until he has a question. Then he asks for contributions. He prints his out. He at first would print one out for me, as well, but he got pissed if (WHEN) i filled mine in too quickly (more quickly than he did his), so he starting printing out one from a previous day for me.
LOL! Love Yo Yo Ma!!
ReplyDeleteJim:
DeleteSo do we!

Ron:
DeleteWe both love him, too. Jim can work with Jerry!
Did you see the episode of Louis Gates's show "Finding Your Roots" featuring Yoyo Ma? It was terrific (as they all were). Goes into how he got his name, among many other things. Watch it if you get a chance.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteI've only read about Finding Your Roots and have never watched an episode. This sounds interesting.
Of course it's YoYo!
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteYo!
I LOVE yo yo ma!
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteSo do we! And it was so easy to find a photo with him laughing. He makes cello music fun!
He's an excellent musician.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteBrilliant! And a great toy, too.
I would of missed it, had no idea who he was
ReplyDeleteAdam:
DeleteHa! Jerry knows him well and missed it! He plays a wicked cello and is very entertaining.
What? Kids don't play with Itzhaks any more?
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth:
DeleteI should be ashamed of myself. Itzhak didn't even cross my mind and I could play with mine forever!
Thank you I was looking for that one... snort ... snicker...
ReplyDeleteWillym:
DeleteThank YOU! I don't think everyone got my point this time.
