I don't know if this has ever been posted before, but I stumbled across in on YouTube today and I loved it so much I had to post it. Seriously, it's so brilliant you must see it

It's crazy,I first saw it when looking for upright clips. As soon as I started on the double bass my respect for the good players went through the roof.

If I remember correctly , the original version of this is by double bass virtuoso Gary Karr . Check him out on YouTube . He's a deeply respected player and quite a voluble character to boot .

He is amazing, really makes a bass sing. Funny guy too

Yet another nail in my upright playing aspirations coffin. Demm him! Demm you all!

Thanks. I've shared on FB. One of my best friends plays EUB, and she badly needs some suicide.
