I played Cello as a kid from the ages 11 through 16. In NY here on the streets you see lots of bass players with a wheel where the jpeg goes for transportation. They glide down the sidewalk. I guess they can't get their mother to drive them to school with one of those.... I find it a bit interesting seeing all those big string basses glide go down the sidewalk I think finally now kind of like in the woody allen movie we can have one in the marching band! My mom had to drive me to school on cello days. It also reminds me of a types of creatures in one of the OZ books. A Wheeler. There was also Hip Hopper. Had one foot and hopped. He was a Hopper. Drawn by John R. Neill. I think there were the Hoppers and the Wheelers. Monopod people. Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
