Dear Al Urker,

An interesting story indeed!

Besides the remarkable bass, many do know about the musicality of fish. I am reliably informed that banjos have a perch-pole, most stringed intruments have tunas of some species (indeed the piano requires one in physical attendance at least once a year), the conger may be used for percussion, most musicians have at one time or another come into contact with a smoked roach, and concerning payment and contracts almost all musicians have needed to carp! I am sure that many of our assiduous readers will readily identify other musical fish!

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Guitar
