If you tie your cable up tightly before you plug into your amp your playing is tighter
The spoons never really caught on as a musical instrument. An entrepreneur took a large amount of excess stock in 1573 and repackaged them as devices for eating food, and the rest is history.
The reverse happened with China - the fork was falling out of favour as an eating device so he was able to import many forks from Tu-Ning as a way to tune instruments. Later, with the trend for all things Oriental, they got used to eat with again.
Of course the knife started out as something to enable church organists to sustain notes.

It's true. The eponymous Spoonman (popularized by Soundgarden in the mid 1990s) was one of the few remaining people who knew, appreciated and used spoons as originally intended. I think he can trace his lineage back to the small 16th Calabrian village where the spoon (again, as an instrument) originated.

Yes. Make sure to tie it the direction you want to effect.
If you tie your cable right over left is cuts the lows, left over right to cut the highs.
This is of course opposite in the southern hemisphere
Spin the cable as you play to achieve a chorus effect.
We only get lows in the Southern Hemisphere.... the Northern Hemisphere has all the highs
While "legato" sounds like it should be French for "the cat", it's not; it's actually French for "the alligator".
If it rhymes with “amp” you can use it as an amplifier

During the height of Barry Manilow's popularity, Arista Records released disco remix versions of "Mandy", "Weekend in New England" and "I Write the Songs" on 12" colored vinyl.
They were available only in Estonia and Taiwan.

If you give a random person a tambourine so they have something to do onstage at a show, you can be fined or imprisoned in 32 countries.
This should not be misinformation, but alas, it is.

This is the headstock of a contrabassoon, a popular instrument in both djent and surf music.

"R.E.M." originally stood for the first names of the three members: Rick Wakeman, Edgar Winter and Michael Stipe. The first two abandoned the project in its infancy, mainly because they couldn't understand Stipe's mumbling.
