Double Bass Thank you, Don Kaspar

[rickwolff]

I just got a Very Nice Present from my old friend in California, Don Kaspar. (And yes, I know Don, you're not as old as I am).

After enjoying Don's great sense of humor here on TB for several years I had the chance to stop by and visit with Don at his house in beautiful Downtown Burbank. Next time I'm in CA I am going to make it a point to go and see him on a gig.

Anyway, I admired the nice leather bow quiver he made which he posted about here recently. Well....today there was a package on my front porch.

It's beautifully made and a very thoughtful gift which I really appreciate.

Thanks, Don!

Thanks.

HA! Arco-related catastrophes. The audience might be happier if I super-glued my bow in the quiver.

 

[Don Hergert]

THAT is a collector's item!!! Congrats to both the manufacturer and the recipient!

Legendary!

Don is a tremendous guy and a great musician. He even played a gig with me when I was a collegiate tenor player and he was a grad student at the Eastman

 

[Keyser Soze]

Classy! Nice.

 

[Don Kasper]

he was a grad student

True, I AM a tremendous guy, but I was only an UNDERgrad...I never pursued a Graduate Degree anywhere.
Thanks for your kind words, Mike.

Really?! You seemed so “experienced”…

"True, I AM a tremendous guy"

I recommend that you cut down on the carbs and fats then.

Careful, super glue might void the warranty!

Nice work, @Don Kasper. A man of your prodigious modesty would never (could never) allow me to compare you to Ron Swanson/Duke Silver, but maybe you'll accept a new reading of the GAS acronym: Good At Stuff.

A man of your prodigious modesty

My modesty is Totally Awesome!!
(Thanks, Ryan....)
