Musical Words

Visible to anyone in the world

I wrote a program to search for words that contain only the letters abcdefg used as musical notes. I found 124 in the wordlist CROSSWD.TXT (courtesy of Moby Words II by Grady Ward).  A bigger wordlist might find more. The 124 words appear below. What's the longest meaningful sentence you can find using only these words? If we can use proper names like 'Abe' we could have

Aged Abe deeded a faded cabbage bed.
