Richard Davis (1930-2023)

Another master gone.

I'm proud to have spent three years studying with him in Madison and now serving as the current player of his battle-worn bass (pictured here).

Anyone teach online with Blackboard Collaborate Ultra?

My summer class of 5 students only shows video of 2 at a time, with a "+3" that does nothing when clicked. Toggle at top right is between 1 at a time and 2 only.

Any way to see all participants at once onscreen, like Zoom?

He recently sent Batman + Wonder Woman into Celtic myth, and (w/ Grant Morrison) had Hal Jordan arrest God.

Who would you date?

Someone in Finland just ordered a physical CD of my 2010 album "Portrait of Jack Johnson" (featuring "The Boxing Bassist Suite") from @Bandcamp.

I'm very happy to learn I'm not the only one who still buys CDs!
