The Dotted Breve Founds Support Group for Plus-Sized Felines

The order of sharps in music is F,C,G,D,A,E, and B, conveniently also the first letters of each of the words in the sentence, "Fat Cats Go Down Alleys Eating Birds (or Bugs)." Long have fat cats been subject to this hurtful stereotype which is found offensive by cats of vegetarian diets and even more so among vegans.

I decided to interview a few furry fellows of portly girth, which proved to be quite enlightening on the nature of their struggles. One such feline, Felix, went so far as to say, "The assumption that cats eat birds is ludicrous and obscene. I am far above the consumption of such morally degrading sources of protein.” Another critter can be quoted more concisely, “Not all animals are animalistic. Some mnemonic devices are divisive.”

In light of this, the Dotted Breve Inc. has endeavored to begin a support group for the victims of this prejudicial acrostic. Group therapy and counseling will be standard treatment.

The Blog's Purpose

The terminology of Music Theory is colorful and exotic. While, in actuality, the terms refer to musical concepts, they can, quite convincingly, be twisted to hold other meanings and to comedic effect. One example, and also the blog's namesake, is the term, the "dotted breve," which denotes a note or rest that has a value of 12 beats. The term, as noticed quite astutely by a certain music theory teacher (who will "knot" be named here) could easily be the name of a hip coffee shop in an urban setting, or a high-brow blog of musical musings.
The purpose of The Dotted Breve is to provide a platform for music theorists to discuss possible alternate meanings for musical terms and for the Neobrawnist to show the world what  a true musician is like.
