Yeah, it was kinda neat. But six minutes is about all I could handle. |

It reminds of the first time I ever heard Abraham Laboriel play--my mind couldn't get itself around what my ears were hearing. This is another one of those kinds of things...like the difference between the Hudson River school of painting and the Impressionists.
Thanks for posting it--I'm not much of a bass player (and maybe never will be), but it was neat to hear all the different possibilities.

Michael Manring is an extremely gifted musician. He played bass on most of Michael Hedges recordings (among many others.) I've seen him play live a couple of times…
…no bass-player jokes in this case, he's the real deal!
