 When I first started playing the double bass when I got to middle school, because I'd been playing the electric bass for a couple of years, my great-uncle Howard, who's the other bass player in the family, he was so excited. He said, come over to my house, I got something for you. And now that he found out that I was playing the double bass, he said, hey, I'm going to turn you on to the cats. So he spent the whole day playing nothing but jazz albums for me.
