How new music caused hoof 'n mouth disease




Tonight I went to a very cool AME new music concert organized by friends from a Broadway tour. One of the composers, a cute 70-something with a scruffy mountain man beard, related his experience as a new music composer.

He said that many years ago, he had been invited to a performance of his music in an agrarian part of the United States. Coinciding with the performance of his music was a veterinary convention on Hoof 'N Mouth Disease. Somehow the photos from the two articles advertising the big local news got switched.

Two cows were pictured near a stream, tongues drunkenly dangling to the side, beneath the headline "New Music Concert".

Below the cows an article pictured a smiling head shot of the composer. The headline read "Look Whats Happened To Our Cattle!"
