Some of those made me laugh, David, but a couple of them puzzle me.
Can you educate me?

<><> "Play as if you were accompanying John Denver."=20

<><> "It's no use telling the violas, they won't do it anyway."

I can understand why people pick on trumpets, bassoons, drums and
trumpets, but what is it about violas that attracts attention?

Cheers,
Bill

Because Violas are like the Alto Clarinet - a mistake ;) (it's said that
the Viola is acoustically a mistake)

The John Denver thing I would guess means to play it like you don't have a
care in the world.
