You gotta make it a hostile environment and show them the door. Telling the story often works.
This should work than. You don't gotta say nothin. A picture is worth a thousand words, something or other...

Mumbledepeg. If you know what that is, then consider doing it with hatchtes. Some of us are proof that God looks after idiots.We even played with Lawn Darts!!! Oh my!
I don't let them surface until they've torqued up enough tension in my life. It's like a good meal, you don't serve until it's done cooking.Embrace! Introduce them to your friends or whatever the heck we are.
For you upright players.
It would be great to have intonation like that. Maybe someday.

Plaid Jesus ?I played sax in a band backing up a Jewish comic[I'm a wasp]. I had shoulder length hair and a beard(still have the beard, hair long gone). The comic would walk back and forth in front of the band and there was a guy operating a 'follow spot' from the back of the room. At one point the comic stopped suddenly, the spot didn't and landed right on me. Without missing a beat, the comic said "Loved your sermon on the mount" and continued his act. The audience laughed and everybody in the band cracked up, too.'Course this was the 70's when people expected there to be an 'edge' to humor.
I always appreciated the humor of Pryor, Foxx, Carlin, Callas, etc., all of whom could be a bit crude where it fit unlike some of today's "comics" who say an obscenity that has nothing to do with the story and people laugh(nervously?)and think it's funny.
I've heard a few ex-stand up comics say they won't do stand-up again 'cos people get so easily offended and it's just not worth the hassle. Too bad.
I’m still enviously snooping through JCB threads.My JC hard case is thicker than my Thunderbird hard cases. But, having said that, you REALLY NEED a JC. More so than the Mod needs trucker jackets and shoes...

Not on the upright. Open strings are how some of us hacks figure out where we ought to be instead of where we are. People who actually practice and have other strange and quaint ways don't have that issue.Open stings! I find them a bit buzzy.
