But Lara St. John was there first. What’s old is new again, I guess:

For some, violin is enough. Others need a bigger instrument.
Goodness: it’s really dress-down Friday at Slipped Disc!
Too bad I can’t use one to cover up my ears.
With this and the pic for the porn composer earlier today, it’s getting impossible to read SD at work. I think the webmaster needs to take a cold shower.
I’ll me more impressed when a performer does this with a double bass.
Maybe that’s what they did to the double bass which was smashed at an airport.
Good job she doesn’t play the piccolo.
If she did, she would certainly end up on SD, on today’s pervormance.
We can always hope…..8)
No one loves the viola more than I do. That said, I designed this t-shirt this morning because violists are the most well-adjusted musicians there are and we can laugh at our own jokes.

What’s the definition of a gentleman?
…Someone who knows all the viola jokes and doesn’t tell any. 🙂
Someone should have planned her laundry days more carefully.
I wonder if her instrument is strung with a double-D string, in US bra-size nomenclature. At least it has a G string.
Violas come in different sizes, typically 13” to 16”. Maybe was she ill-advised to take such a big one, smaller violas being easier to play?
Does the record company really believe that it will sell more CDs? I don’t care whether she needs a piccolo, a violin or a viola to cover herself. It’s plain bad taste!
