Reply-To: contrabass@contrabass.com

Hi All,

I know the list is mostly about wind instruments, but Grant was kind enough
to let me post this news as well - because I feel so strongly about what
Stefano Scodanibbio is doing with the doublebass that it merits attention
here.

In the interest of full disclosure: we put out this guy's records.
Nevertheless, I continue to be blown away by Stefano Scodanibbio's
performances and hope you will indulge me by checking him out.  Reach me if
you'd like more details, here are west coast dates:

Apr 4 : San Francisco Italian Cult. Inst. solo "Voyage.."
    6 : Encinata, Mexico    w/Terry Riley
    7 : San Diego  Spruce Street Forum w/Terry Riley
   10 : Los Angeles  LACMA   w/Markus Stockhausen

HEA! HEA!  aaaaaa.. Yeh! that would be me.
It seems to be making the rounds quite well. Haven't had one single
flame response....Yet!

I had just aquired the 3 volume set of Schumitzig pamphlets & wanted to
share the humor.

hahahahahahaa That's somebody's idea of a joke. A cross between a Bass
Clarinet & a vacuum cleaner, with a kitchen funnel for a mouthpiece. Ala
Peter Schickele, to be sure.
