Stevie wonder in China!
Stevie Wonder is playing his 1st gig in China and the place is packed to the rafters. In a bid to break the ice he asks if anyone has a request.
One chap jumps out of his seat in the 1st row and shouts at the top of his voice "Play a jazz chord ! Play a jazz chord!"
Amazed that this guy knows about the jazz influences in Stevie's career, the blind impresario starts to play an E minor scale and then goes into a difficult jazz melody for about 10 minutes.When he finishes the whole place goes wild. The chap jumps out of his seat again and shouts "No, no, play a Jazz chord, play a jazz chord".
A bit cheesed off by this, Stevie, being the professional he is, dives straight in to a jazz improvisation with his band around the B flat minor chord and really tears the place apart. The crowd go ballistic with this impromptu show of his musical expertise.
But, still the little Chinese man jumps up again and shouts "No, no. Play a jazz chord, play a jazz chord".
Stevie is really pissed off now that this chap doesn't seem to appreciate his playing ability and shouts to him from the stage " OK - smart arse, you get up here and do it".
The little bloke climbs onto the stage,takes hold of the mike and starts to sing............ " a jazz chord to say , I ruv you..."
"I just called to say... I love you..." Isnt that the famous Stevie's song?? Well, that pasticular chinese guy cudnt say it properly so it came out as:
" a jazz chord to say , I ruv you..."
.... and I ended up laughing alone _________________ Ana S

I got it Ana !!! I think its funny, and almost as funny as Rahul not getting it !! 5555
He understood the "jazz chord " but not Stevie Wonder 5555 Hey Rahul thats a hoot....
Just in case you didn't pick it up on tv where you are, Stevie Wonder is a cartoon charactor that flys around with a cape somewhat like Superman, except he is black and blind instead of black and blue. His thing is because he is blind the flies to rescue the damsel in distress by his sense of smell. and for some unknown always ends up at KFC or the rib joint.

"jus takin de pizz" - I thought that was an English expression (well, when you combine it with the words 'outta someone') ...
Thanks for the Stevie tutorial. Just curious, since he's flying with both his arms, does he need to stuff the guitar into a backpack
