“R. Huna said: The singing of sailors and ploughmen is permitted, but that of weavers is prohibited.  R. Huna abolished singing, and a hundred geese were priced at a zuz and a hundred se'ahs of wheat at a zuz and there was no demand for them [even at that price]; R. Hisda came and [ordered R. Huna's edict to be] disregarded, and a goose was required [even at the high price of] a zuz but was not to be found.  R. Joseph said: When men sing and women join in it is licentiousness; when women sing and men join in it is like fire in tow.  For what practical purpose is this mentioned? — To abolish the latter before the former.”
