Group

Yes, like your comment!
When you publish your own teaser, I really want to read it so I can make the appropriate comment. Unfortunately, people like you never really hang around here long enough. Perhaps it's because you have the brain power of a gnat. (My sincere apologies to all gnats).

Excellent work Jazzmusician. Once again, you stumped me. I got some of them, but a few were tricky.
As for jazzman's comment at the top - what a pathetic little person he is. I would love to read his teaser IF he ever can manufacture one. Go away you silly little man.

Good one!
Man, your music teasers are way too hard! I don't know the answer even after reading your answer!
By the way, though... I don't pronounce Baroque as Broke. I pronouce the A. Am I crazy? Maybe!
Thanks for another fine teaser! It's clear you put a lot of thought into them.
