The Upton Report Vol. 191 – NPR pulled the video!?!?!

Last week I teased you with an AWESOME video…a fantastic piece NPR did on the Danilo Perez foundation…and for reasons unknown to me NPR pulled the video down within hours of The Upton Report going out.  I apologize for the tease, and I’ve written a few eMails looking for an explanation.  If I find the video again I’ll include it on John Patitucci’s artist page on our site.

This weeks video is a short fun little playing tip from yours truly.  I shot it in response to a customer’s feedback on something I do with just about every bass I pickup.  I’ll tease you with just that little nugget…at just over a minute long you can spare the minute to go watch!  😉
