Greetings!

Well basses going out windows had exactly the reaction I thought it would have! It's a pretty polarizing clip and although the "art" of putting it out the window is shocking, the social aspect of denying someone who cannot afford a bass the opportunity to play it just to make "art" is undeniable.

Let's take a collective breath and watch Francois make some art we can all agree on (maybe!).

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!

Jay Leonhart sings and plays his theme song.

This is the second time my wife has leaned over from her laptop as I am putting together "The Upton Report" and added her .02 cents, "that one is great, put that in there", she said. And I did.
