And you thought YOUR gig was rough

Here's the hardest working bass player in New Orleans, in the square. Both he and his bass were wrapped up with cloth. He was light-skinned, so I guess it was to avoid sunburn. Dunno about his well-traveled bass, though I must admit the duct tape was a nice touch.

Bob:

I thought that when I looked real close, I could see a "D.H." monogram on his jacket.

I guess the Mirecourt doesn't travel well.

What kind of gig is that? Sax and banjo? Guitar and washboard? Double bass? Is it some sort of New Orleans thing?

Definitely a NO thang. A couple guitars, washboard, bass, sax, clarinet (out of range) trombone, plus others that came and went. And they were quite good.

If you see me on a gig like that, the label in the bass will say "Georgia-Pacific"

so what you're saying is that you'll have finally swapped out basses with ed, right?
