Intermezzo & Tarantella for Double Bass & Piano by Reinhold Gliere{I bought the sheet music in November & just finished up Intermezzo..now on to Tarantella "Gulp!!"} Just wish I had  10 hrs daily devoted to work on it. But now since I'm on vacation....heh! heh! heh! 

Zac Brown Band, from a couple-three years ago "Quiet Your Mind" :

This tune has a very interesting twist in the time signature at 2:01... I'm not really sure how to count it. (12 or 6/8 ?) The emphasis is in an odd place.

The emphasis sounds to me to be on the downbeat, a six note phrase beginning on each downbeat.  The first six note phrase begins on the three of the scale; thus 3-1-2-3-1-2.  The next phrase is 3-4-3-3-2-1.  The third is 6-5-4-3-4-5.  The last is 6-3-2-4-3-2, where the 6 is below the 1.  Or that's my guess in listening to it phrase by phrase; I haven't tried to play it.

Thanks for your ears Dave. 

I actually have tried it. The tune is in C# / Db, which adds a little to the headgame, but it's just so irresistible.  For whatever reason ZBB records virtually everything a half-step flat or sharp... I've often wondered if J.D. Hopkins tuned his bass up or down, or just played them at standard pitch.

A beautiful Uncle John's Band.  Alpine Valley 1989.  Today, this touched me deeply; and for that, I am most grateful.

David, is this the '89 link to Uncle Jonh's?  Nice version!



Your link goes to a Friend of the Devil.

No apologies - Tedeschi Trucks with anyone is a treat.

That was very cool!  Thanks!  Jimmy's solo brought to mind the solo section in Blue Sky; very nice.
