Hello! I play the electric violin. It's like a violin but electronic.
Is it like a regular violin with pickups added?
Yes, it has built-in pickups.
Oh, like a solid body electric guitar. Do you play jazz?
Yes. I like Stuff Smith.
I never heard of Stuff Smith. What kind of stuff did he do? I'm guessing that's a man.

Is he a contemporary of Armstrong, or is a current artist?
Stuff Smith is from the 1920's.
