Greetings!

I'm back!  I had a great time in North Conway, New Hampshire with my family, a trip I have made for 25 years now!  It's great fun to bring my children to the same site's that my parents brought me to. 

I think this is one of the first years where we have not seen the New England Symphony perform while there...but it looks like they will be performing on August 12th at the base of Mt. Cranmore  with fireworks to follow.  Always a good show...and for the $5 donation price you can't beat a nice night of music in the mountains of New Hampshire!

So...without further ado (Thanks Greg!), I bring you some Friday night double bass entertainment!

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!

Tim, I love this one, especially since it was recorded so close to me at the Newport Jazz Festival! ~ Eric
