Well, OK, true story...I play the bones. I have made several sets but only two pair really work well for me. One day a friend handed me on of a pair of ebony bones. So now I have one black bone that I call my Zen Bone. On stage I will sometimes pull it out and ask the audience if they have seen its mate. Then I can talk about the sound of one bone clicking (a la Zen Bone). Then I point out that I am fully prepared for Canadian ice hockey rinks because I have a "...zen bone, eh?"
The latest will be when I want to play rhythm for a cajun song. I have a bone that is already pan blackened...
