Spot check ... what's playing right now?

Collected Works of John Dowland - Jakob Lindberg on the lute

I've been on a classical listening streak lately. Been discovering lots of oddball but Very cool instruments from the Rennaisance and Baroque periods. Bass player that I am, I've become totally fascinated by this beastie - a theorbo. Had about 100 years or so of popularity and then dropped out of sight for the next couple centuries. And, of course, JS Bach was one of the ultimate writers of bass lines. A lot of those pieces work well on the same instrument

Totally unrelated to the cover band we're working up right now, that's for sure
 
Phineas & Ferb soundtrack- and it's not because I have little kids. :) :bassist:

Speaking of little kids, the only thing playing for me right now is the sound of a fan blowing upstairs near my 1 yr old's baby monitor. It's still music to my ears though.

Back on topic. Earlier I pulled out the Yellow Jackets CD Like a River. I hadn't listened to it in a very long time. It's not something I want to put in every day, but it was a good listen today.
