Greetings!
Cello and Bass...to me it's like Romeo and Juliet
(or for Halloween, maybe my favorite...Chocolate and
Peanut-butter!). The pair match so well together, it's no wonder
we take the name of our beloved instrument from it. From Wikipedia,
"In the Classical era the double bass typically doubled the cello
part an octave below, occasionally requiring descent to C below the
E of the four-string double bass."
I've found these videos to be inspiring, so now I bring you some
duets...some cello and bass, Some Romeo and Juliet...some
Peanut-butter cups. ;)
So...without further ado, I bring you some Friday night double bass
goodness!
And remember...if you have ANY links, news, videos, etc. you want
to share, eMail it to me at eroy@uptonbass.com and I'll be sure to
share it. Oh...and if you just want to say "Hi" you can do that
too!
Have a nice weekend!
