Greetings!

You forget how reliant you are on your Laptop (or PC) until you don't have it.  My laptop charger died...and it was a whole 48 hours before I could get a new one and turn it back on!  Not the end of the world mind you...but it does remind you how much you do count on these things.  I am very happy to report though that I got things back on track just in time to give you a few minutes of Double Bass entertainment to kick off your weekend!

Have a favorite  YouTube video, forum thread or news article that caught your eye this week? If it pertains to the double bass, eMail it to me at eroy@uptonbass.com and I'll be sure to share it with all!
 
Sincerely,

Hi Eric,

Thought I might chime in from the Classical side of the family.  This is a video of Catalin Rotaru playing Paganini Caprice 24.  Even after studying with Catalin for over 5 years, I'm still amazed at what he can do.  I hope others can be as inspired as I am by his talent and teaching. 

Catalin Rotaru is Professor of Double Bass at Arizona State University.
