double bass

I love the physicality of the double bass.
I let go to its noble enormity, its depth charges and dusty bits.
I have been living with them for decades...

The sonic range is far greater and more complex than most other instruments.
And her vibrations definitely come from the soil.
When I play I wrap my arms around the bass.
There is a dance.

My double bass is a Hawkes Classic made in London in 1904.
