Anyway, I thought it would be fun to talk people through a few of the pieces for anyone that's working on things for the six-string bass.
You can click each song on the left and get some performance comments on that piece, or just use the Next button on your music player to play other songs, (or just wait, they'll play in sequence).

20070518 Update: I've switched over to a Flash Player, and for some reason the tracks in the playlist seem to play in the wrong order sometimes, I'll figure that out.

Feedback for Music for the 6-String Bass:
Michael Manring: "I very much enjoyed your transcriptions for the 6-string. I thought that you both arranged and played the pieces with sensitivity and an appreciation of the expressive nature of music. You have a wonderful sound and I'll be that you'll enjoy playing these pieces for many years to come."Kai Eckhardt: "Thank you very much for your wonderful tape. I am impressed with your interpretation of the chosen classical works."
W.A. Mathieu: "Seems to me you are going through all the right steps in the difficult and never-ending process of musical individualization. Your arrangements are well conceived for the instrument..."
Eliot Fisk: "Your playing of these pieces is personal and refreshing. You change octaves in places that are convincing and give a new color to these pieces."
