@NahFam__ here in chicago we’re so good at mexican food that we just call it food

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@CeliaCPerez There are a bunch of good reads from @silviamg

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@jasonmuelver @RollingStone and all along I thought they were too busy singing to put anybody down

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@aksocolofsky I bet @PhillipWSerna or @contrabassic might know of a piece or two?

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@RepBobMorgan Openlands? (sigh...)

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@PhillipWSerna @ILPhilharmonic A friend was auditioning... his take on the Higdon, "that excerpt was legit"
Excellent work on getting it on the list.

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@LisaNeher p.s. I see what you did there “touch base.” 😂

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@LisaNeher Basses can play anything, sometimes we just have to do a little more transposition to make it work.
We can comfortably read the same part as bassoon, but it sounds an octave lower.
Even if the piece doesn’t work out, this is still a cool project that should be supported.

@contrabassic What if he nominates President (or former First Lady) Obama?

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@PhillipWSerna @ILPhilharmonic I love that there is a Jennifer Higdon excerpt on the list.

Well done!

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@contrabassic Croissants are surprisingly absurd to make at home?

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@PhillipWSerna @MNightShyamalan It was a film that really brought a whole different nuance to the superhero genre.
As alway @PhillipWSerna, you have impeccable taste.

@lanuovamusica @RachPodger Double bass player has a strong sock-game. Well played

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@contrabassic

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@PhillipWSerna @contrabassic I assembled a crew to read the Ferrenc a while back, it’s quite good.
How about Homenaje a Garcia Lorca by Silvestre Revueltas? It’s like 13 minutes of twisted mariachi.

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@PhillipWSerna @contrabassic The Bohemian Cafe is a solid piece. There are a bunch of videos of Romance by Amy Beach arranged for bass and piano floating around.

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@kevindaymusic Ooh... double bass concerto!!

[paul @p_c_martinez]

@RepBobMorgan Thanks for the update Rep Morgan, keep up the good work!
