I know a guy who says dancing with some women is like pushing furniture around... that's quite close, I think, to the situation of a coffin with only one pallbearer. Provided, of course, that the guy is already dressed in black.
In any case, it's been my experience that musical instruments essentially play themselves. The musician is just there to help it happen and (except in the case of a piano) to bow with it. (Yet notice how so many pianists touch the piano as they bow... it ain't so they keep their balance, you know.) --- As follow-up to a long-forgotten other comment (of mine): I have never in my life as a native speaker of English heard the term 'chick' as a pejorative. It's a jive word for a cool or cute girl. Just FYI, my fellow fans of Lunfardo song.
