Just wondering!!!
I didn't watch the programme, but there could be four reaons.
One: the player was using a harness - they can be difficult to spot.
Or two: he was miming ( surely not!! )
Or three: he never plays open C#!
Or four: he forgot to stow his strap after the last gig!
Unless someone has invented the world's first anti-gravity neck strap
- in which case I want to go on record as being the first person to
say they DO NOT affect the tone! ;o)

How can you say that - I don't understand! I know you can share your idea so
intimately to a fellow countrymen but what about others like me esp. this
subject is kinda interesting to me. I can play a close mid C# though.
Diak ammo no adda Ilocano 'd 'toy (pardon me, trying to catch a fellow
countrymen, if any).
