Answer: A concert harp

Concert harps usually have 47 strings and seven pedals. Other types of harps, such as lever harps, have fewer. Violas have four strings, like most string instruments in an orchestra. Mandolins (similar instruments to guitars) originally had six strings, but nowadays typically have eight. Knitted items are usually made with a single (very long) strand of yarn.

Question by player redwaldo

Answer: in jail

Australians who are familiar with the work of their home-grown musical master celebrate Gravy Day on December 21, the date mentioned in the lyrics of this song in which a prisoner named Joe laments the fact that he won't be celebrating Christmas with his family.

As he tells his mate Dan, "They say it's gonna be a hundred degrees / Even more maybe / But that won't stop the roast / Who's gonna make the gravy now? / I bet it won't taste the same." He then passes on his recipe, which includes a dash of tomato sauce (ketchup) as the finishing touch, and asks Dan to give his love to his kids.
