IT IS ONE THING TO MAKE AN INSTRUMENT- it is quite another matter to learn how to play it. You would think with just two strings it would be easy, and maybe it is-but it still takes practice and time to get it going.
this afternoon I had an enjoyable couple of hours trying to learn the BIG BASS.

What could be more pleasant than a warm hour on the patio with a cold martini, Ode to Joy on the music stand and a new instrument to learn. You will notice a bow on the table. I went to an antique store this afternoon and bought a $10.00 junker violin bow, picked up a little rosen at the violin shop and have been having lots of fun trying to play with it. Now don't laugh, I am going to show you a video.
| This absurd rendition of Ode To Joy is presented in the full reality that teaching old dogs new tricks can be difficult. It does indicate that this crazy instrument could be played with a bow if a guy only knew how | I swear this video does not do the instrument justice. It sounds much much better than this in real life-I think. |
