I saw a guy standing in the Vienna Philharmonic bass section at their concerts in Carnegie Hall this past week.

Probably Odon Racz. He's a beast of a bass player. I met him when he was in Canada.

Thin, tall guy with short dark hair?

No, definitely not. Perhaps Odon just stood when he played those few concerts in Canada. Odon plays a bass almost identical to Streicher's, and he has a HUGE five string bass.

Calvin Marks has a link to a picture of every bass player ever. No naked ladies on his web history...

I'm glad to see that others are taking up the reigns. The Revolution has started!

I keep a stool behind me. I sit down during rests and stand while playing. It's the best of both worlds for me.

Since my knee surgeries, this is how I survive.

Michael Shahan, Associate Principal in Philadelphia, used to stand a lot. I don't know if he still does.
