Years ago an ashtray would have held ashes and cigarette butts. Now of course the chances that an ashtray would be used for its original purpose are slim to none in most households.<\/p>\n

In our house, the floor ashtrays from the 40s, 50s, & 60s all contain various musical paraphernalia. I use one in my studio to hold my key oil and cork grease, while another one tends to be a catch all for ligatures and the likes.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago we went to a friend’s 50th birthday party. Everyone started out the evening with a few elastic bands around their wrist, and lost one every time they said a certain word. What was different was that the elastic bands were all in interesting shapes.<\/p>\n

I was given elastics in the shape of saxophones. Although I did say the word a few times and lost some of my bands, I cheated, and took a few more bands out of the container so that I could take some home with me. I thought they would make a great addition to this photo. I’ll leave it up to your imagination to figure out what the word might have been.<\/p>\n

I’ll give you a hint… The word had nothing to do with music, but is located very close to the definition of our instruments in the dictionary. \ud83d\ude08<\/p>\n
