Mr. Todd
It is unusual in the company of my family here -- all of them guitarists, singers... My father taught my cousin and my fiencee to play the cello, but I don't think that is the instrument of choice for either of them. Though I may be wrong about that, I've only been able to hear them play a few times.
It is not unusual elsewhere -- which is why I picked it up. My mother and I didn't only follow rockstars. We worked everything from folk to bluegrass to jazz clubs to Broadway. Classical orchestras, too.
