heavier than a quart of milk. My Fender weighs a ton!!!

I guess it was foolish to play two of the three nights of the gig we had this weekend--we thought I was having back surgery on Friday, so we got subs for me and my husband and he was going to miss the first two nights of his 40th to support me--but I really wanted to play. We've been under so much damn stress.

So, you must be a musician. What do you play?
