    1. In 1999 I rented an upright bass from a pawn shop for $50 and played it on one of the greatest comedy albums ever made. I just wrote a book about it.
    2. 1 year of playing double bass! I started September of 25, it’s been a great journey learning the instrument and repertoire. Been lucky to play a lot of gigs with a lot of people way better than me. Giant Steps makes for a nice walking etude.
