from a radio interview shortly after her death:
Little, who played a rare instrument crafted in 1705, scratched the hell out of the back of it wearing jeans studded with rhinestones. When colleague Michael Kurth asked her if that was a concern she said “no one can see the back of my bass, but everyone can see me.”
