A Big Wooden Box in the Hands of A Great Dane (not woodworking)

If you have never seen someone finger-picking on a double bass, give this video a look.  Niels-Henning Orsted Pederson is perhaps the jazz bass player against whom all others are measured, sort of the double-bass version of Billy Cobham on drums, Oscar Peterson on piano or Johnny Hartman on vocals.

Even if you are not a jazz aficionado this is worth the glance.  The production quality is dreadful but the performance of one of my favorite songs is mesmerizing.
