Thank you. That's interesting. I don't think I ever saw a five-string bass
"live", or if I did, I was thinking about my own part and didn't realize it.

Where is your Peabody? There was a Peabody in Nashville that had an
excellent music program, that I think was taken over by Vanderbilt. (I
understood it was the easiest way they could establish a good music
department. Just buy it. <g>)

Thanks, again,

Jim
