Lox... maybe. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't know how the bass drum would fit into a more portable box. The trunk I have is just too big; while it's a light-enough box when empty, all of the instruments and the drum would make it rather unwieldy.

I've thought about the harness thing before... I know there's got to be a solution that's both practical and eye-catching.

I want the eventual winning idea to be one that, at the VERY least, makes passerby stop and stare and think "what the hell...".

After that, I'll take care of the rest. I've been a blues shouter and country-sanger for a long time. :)
