That's Bill Bussmann, a very fine mandolin maker in Caballo NM. He's a bass player and evidently has WAY too much time on his hands. You should see the Chuck Taylor dancing foot endpin he rigged for his gigging bass.

"one million dollars"
"a million bucks?!? how do you expect to sell lemonade for that price???"
"but if I could only sell one cup..."
