Today, at school I was hauling my cello around in my awesome new red case. This random Mexican guy came up to me and said "Hey! Nice cello! Well, I can't see it, but you have a nice case, so I assume it's a nice cello. Are you going to the orchestra concert next month?"
Wowza! I've never known of a Mexican who knew what a cello was, let alone had on interest and a slight understanding of one! I was so incredible impressed!
Earlier that day another kid had been like "Dude! I love your guitar case!" Does it look like a guitar case? Not really.
Thank you random Mexican kid for renewing my faith in the musical knowledge of students at my school.
