I get about many questions a day walking to class. Most common is, "Are you going camping?" I also get, "Wow, that's a really big backpack!" and also once "Is there a body in there?" I think the classic of all time was this flute player who said, "Wow, I could fit like 80 flutes in that gig bag!" The most annoying has to be "How can you carry that? Isn't that way too heavy for you?" or "That's as big as you are!"; this followed by, "Do you need some help?"
I think the most unusual comment was this past Friday. I was playing a quintet gig for a commencement ceremony, and we had to enter the back entrance where the rest of the service people went in. A woman said, "Wow, what an ingenious way to carry food! You are with the caterer, right?"
