I.
The origin of it all--my string quarternition of a string quartet?
Answer: A good violin player, a
bad violin player, a former violin player, and someone who hates violin
players.)

here is the new (old) definition I just received:
The cold war
era definition of a string quartet:
"the Leningrad
Philharmonic following a U.S. tour."
The
floor is now open for competing entries...
II. First, another string quartet joke:

lode of actual VIOLIST JOKES:

Definition
of Violist: someone who hangs around with musicians.
- - -=-=-=
You come to a fork in the road and are unsure which way to go. Standing
at the intersection are Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, a good viola player, and
a bad viola player. Whom do you ask for directions? The
bad viola player, of course. The other three are just
figments of your imagination...
- - -=-=-=
You're careening down the road, going about 30 mph above the speed limit,
when suddenly you come to a fork in the road. In the middle of the right-hand
fork stands a violist. In the left-hand fork stands a conductor. You have a
split-second to choose -- whom do you run down?
The conductor. Business before pleasure....
- - -=-=-=
A violist comes home late at night to discover fire trucks, police cars,
and a smoking crater where his house used to be. The chief of police comes over
to him and tells him, "While you were out, the conductor came to your
house, killed your family, and burned it down." The violist replied,
"You're kidding! The conductor came to my house?"

bass players:
