Aw, c'mon Tom.

I'm not against technical advancements. however, there are some
traditional things I enjoy.

Like playing my upright bass, whose design has gone unchanged for
practically 400 years.


That kind of stuff.


Ever see this?

Ok - so let's see if I get this.

You can make a resonant stand up bass with cardboard, but you can't
make a clarineto out of a large horse carrot.

Ok.

You can tune the weed wacker string strings. How do you "tune" a carrot?
Hmmmmm?

If you're in a hurry, a Salad Shooter will get you pretty close. But I
prefer the tactile feedback of my trusty, rusty Vegamatic.
