Go back a few weeks and review our "friend" in San Francisco one of the
members had trouble with over an eBay sale...he was also marketing a video
he said was of himself, driving around the streets of San Fran driving his
taxi and playing saxophone while taking his fares to their
destinations...and after hearing a brief soundbyte of him playing clarinet
on one of his numerous websites, I would suggest the Canadian police should
give advice to their Californian counterparts...

A man has been charged with reckless behavior after cops caught him
playing a violin - while driving. Canadian police said they stopped the
54-year-old fiddler as he zoomed along a highway in Ontario in his
Volkswagen Jetta, with his instrument
tucked under his chin and a bow in one hand.
The man's excuse: He was warming up for a concert.

Is that a Canadian thing; i.e., to interrupt a man while practicing?
