That is very true and another way was to hide it in a string bass case and make that guy carry your fiddle around all day for ya. I usually had a couple of beers in my fiddle case and a slice of school pizza or two. That stuff would last all day.
Did you realize that since the advent of digital recording there are no more violas to be heard in music? Recording technology has advanced to the point where all extraneous noise is eliminated.
Ted's bashing us with a one-man viola comedy. Me, I'm also an advocate for non-violins in society. Now bagpipes are another matter. They have affectionately been described as sounding like a cat caught inside a vacuum cleaner.
We call them HAWGS in the Free State of Texas. I just had a visual of Ted sawing away on his HAWG. Makes me want to grab my ol' fiddle and fiddle on it. need to sleep now.....comma. zzzzzz. manana hombres.
