All you need to see is Oscar applauding the Great Dane at the end of this piece. They were extraordnary together.

No problem George, glad to assist... I always thought that the to create a link with customized text could be in more places or you can copy and paste the URL from your browser address bar directly into a posting. Cheers!

Awesome piece George. Thanks.

If you've never played acoustic bass before you should try once to really appreciate this even more.

BRAVO!

Olie, that's the truth... I studied it (as a teen) then laid it down for many years until just a month ago when I performed with a double bass once again. Whew, that was challenging and a great time!

This video is spectacular!

I still attempt it (Emphasis on attempt) occasionally but not nearly enough to be good at it. LOL

If you think that is good, check out Donna Lee with Niels and Joe Pass on Ytube.
Sorry I don't know how post links either but this is incredible, neither of them even look where there fingers are going
Anyone who is good at the links, please post it for everyone to enjoy
It is awesome

GEEZ..Louise...I'll probably never touch my upright again. LOL

O (gotta practice) OH

I love it when they play the melody together at the end of Donna Lee! It looks like his hands are just sliding around but the notes are strong and clear. Almost inconceivable, except it's happening before our eyes and ears!
