Greetings!
I'll admit to having a good chuckle watching some
of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra auditions. Most of the players
are fine...it was just the 2010 audition piece did not translate to
a "solo performance" very well. But...I have neither the chops,
time....or guts to actually audition myself. The 2011 YouTube
Symphony audition deadline is just 10 days away as I write this
(November 28th, 2010 to be exact) and I think it would be great to
see some of you try. Send me your link of your audition and I
promise not to even snicker the slightest bit! In fact, I'll send
you a "mystery gift", courtesy of Upton Bass, just for doing
so!

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!

Michael Silverman, whose double bass inspired instrument can be
frequently heard in our Stonington workshop in the middle of the
day when a driving beat helps the wood chips hit the floor faster,
has been getting some press down under. Check him out!
