speedytriple Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 So my oldest son had a concert tonight for school. The guest conductor was Mark Wood, the program is called electrify your strings. My son plays the double bass but get to play his bass guitar for this program. He even impressed Mr. Wood enough to get to stand at the front of the stage. Pretty good moment for the family tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-flores Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Awesome tell him to keep it up. I've been a bass player for over 1/2 my life now. I have loved every moment of it and it is a skill and passion that has taken me a lot of places I could have never imagined going. If he needs any help or outside direction let me know and I will do my best I can at helping him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 He has also got to do a concert with Bridgid Bibbens before with the same program. He enjoys getting to play his guitar in place of his double bass. Real cool program they have for the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Tell him to stick with electric. Purchasing a double-bass is stupid expensive. My uncle plays double-bass professionally. He's on the faculty in BGSU's jazz department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Thats one cool school to put on a music program like that. Your son did great, and seemed to enjoy the limelight. Give him props for us all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yeah we have a very extensive music program here. It cost the school $20,000 to have him come here and work with the kids and put on this program. Boosters, and ticket sales cover most of the cost.
