Fellas, Bob Hope!
Thank you.
How do you do, fellas?
This is Bob, Command Performance Hope,
telling you guys whether you're
married or single,
the Army is the only place
where you can get breakfast on
a shingle.
That's a little inside stuff, hmm.
Well, I feel great tonight.
I've just returned from
playing
the San Diego Naval Base.
I went into a hotel in San Diego
and I said to the clerk,
what are the rates?
He said, it's a dollar and a half
if you sleep on your side,
we can get more people in that way.
Give you an idea how crowded that hotel is,
a major and a private
got in a crowded elevator together.
By the time the sleuthing was over,
they were wearing
each other's uniforms.
That hotel lobby
was so jammed with women,
I had to pinch my leg three times
to find out if it was my own.
My case comes up tomorrow.
Still, there aren't enough girls
to go around.
I know one girl who has three
fellas.
She goes out with a lieutenant at nine,
a captain at ten,
and a colonel at eleven.
Every Saturday,
the three of them meet
and synchronize their watches.
The place is just jammed
with men and women in the service.
I saw a lot of pretty waves there.
You know what a wave is.
That's a sailor who says no.
I saw one sailor looking
at a picture of Betty Grable.
I said, hasn't she got a beautiful face?
He said, don't rush me. I'll get there.
But the food problem down there is really
serious.
To get a plate of soup
you have to have a priority,
to get a ham sandwich
you have to have a drag with a war production board,
and to get a glass of milk
you have to have a pull with a cow.
But enough of that, here's the little gal
who's earned a number one priority
in your pinup department,
both in your barracks wall
and in your heart, singing Johnny Mercer's Dixieland Band,
it's Judy Garland.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
Lynae T
“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
