Musicians are a breed all their own. If you are not a musician and have had the chance to hang out with them, you know what I mean. I’m not talking about those people that just play an instrument. No, I mean your die hard, melodies flow through their veins, live, breathe music musicians. They are wired just a little bit differently than the rest of the world. Having given birth to a musician or two, I have had a close up front row view into the quirkiness of a real musician.
Two years ago, I spent a lot of time visiting music schools with my youngest son, Andrew. We weren’t talking just any music schools either. These schools were in league with Julliard. (One actually was Julliard.) Needless to say between school tours and then return visits for auditions, I spent a lot of time surrounded by hardcore musicians.
And it was at one of those auditions that I came across the following sign:
While I would like to think it’s a joke, knowing musicians as well as I do, I’m afraid it was legit. The fact that I’m the only one who found it amusing sort of confirms it. I did point it out to Andrew… who shrugged.

Being a cello player and knowing how awfully expensive bows ban be (especially a nice German bow for string bass), I really hope they had it returned!

Me too! I’m hopeful but I’m still not sure if it was legit or not.

Hi Kat, thanks for participating in this week’s photo challenge.
I had to Google ‘German Bass Bow’ as I had no idea what it was. That drawing looks very strange and was quite an eye-opener. I wonder if it was ever found?

Was the drawing accurate? 🙂 Andrew didn’t choose that school so I couldn’t even ask him if the sign was still up there. 🙂

It sure was, once I knew what the instrument was.
