Need a good 'comeback' for..."How do you get that thing..."

[Joel Larsson]

Every day, I go around feeling grateful that I don't play the drums. As for those piccolo flute remarks, I usually roll my bass around on one of those ingenious trolley/chair contrapments, and—given that I have the time—I can show the guy in question just exactly how un-cumbersome it is to play the bass! Which, of course, isn't the whole truth (between you and me, that big baby can be quite the burden sometimes! ) but like Richard says, we are the contrabass crusaders.
