Hi Matt,

It has been obvious to me from the start that you have been around here for a good little while. The 20K plus post sort of give it away. lol How you do dat??

I think needing some instrument that you don't play is most likely a pretty common reason for buying BIAB. I only know a few musicians who can play drums, guitar, bass and keys must less play brass and woodwind. I was kinda hoping I would fall overboard while being on my boat alone before I was required to go to a nursing home. Look at all the money my wife would save if I drowned fifty miles off shore...lol


Hi Eddie,

I guess I like most people or a least tolerate them . lol I do like some dogs better than some people I have met. Animals in general trust me more than humans. Dogs and cows like me for some unknown reason. Birds have landed on my head or shoulder many times, especially on my boat.

I wonder how many people buy BIAB who do not play any musical instrument.

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
“Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
