Well, nearest I can figure is Bb on a  violin is akin to 3rd position on a 
guitar. Follow me now.  3rd position  in ballet places one foot in front of 
the other, much like the song in  Rankin/Bass' "Rudolph the Red Nosed 
Reindeer" when the dentist-to-be elf,  Hermey decides to exude some confidence, 
which he sorely lacks being such a  misfit. Since General Electric produced 
advertisements using characters from  this program, it can be assumed there 
was some sort of contractual arrangement  with the elves, particularly the 
"Tall Elf", who got cut out of a lot of  acenes in the original production, but 
went on to make a career in Vegas doing  cabaret.  Sadly, he was found in 
bed with the the mayor's wife and  dissappeared quite suddenly after that.




So what you're saying is the mayor eventually went to jail and therein had  
to assume the 3rd position, which was to Bb so that his cell mate could 
score.  And that's why it sounds that way. Is that right?
