This didn't make me an expert on lower back pain but taking the trouble to make a small adjustment to the way I was sitting seemed to get me back to normal again.

I get on him all the time when he doesn't play, but he does alot of physical labor during the day, and I can see where adding to that with playing would make his "hands hurt" as he has said. Vaughan's Arms! Magnificent!!! I love those vein popping scenes.. Great write up Danny – you know I should have listened to Buck..

I have a friend who is a serious viola player and was having elbow problems. He went to a special physical therapist that deals with viola issues. (Of course, he's in the Boston area, so there's a therapist for any problem!) Just like any athlete, a good musician needs to take care of his/her body.

Left shoulder kills after 20 minutes. Helps when I connect the strap to the headerstock instead of the body. But then I look less cool. I see this problem too when I play standing up.
