If these old wives tales were true, more of us would be blind :-)
Many years ago, a schoolteacher caught me and my trombonist friend
playing jazz using the school's prized Steinway. He seriously thought
we might have damaged the sensitive instrument by exposing it to such
vulgar music.

In graduate school, when my friend and I, both composition majors, were
trying to schedule the main recital hall for our composition recitals,
the secretary in charge, trying to protect the noble Steinway from the
dreaded curse of 'modern music', said "No banging?". We both nodded and
replied, with all appropriate seriousness "No banging."
