Sluggo: I'm gonna be a carpenter when I grow up.
Nancy: I wish you'd become a musician. I love to see a boy carrying a musical instrument---It's so DIGNIFIED.
Tag reads: MUSICAL SAW
A professional would play a saw with no kerf, which helps one to avoid those unsightly bits of blood on the fingers. Also, I think they’re narrower gauge and more flexible than Dad’s kindling saw, which I found could be played with a hammer. All three of my sisters had bows, but I knew just enough not to destroy one of them for a session of acoustic Theremin.
