My father bought me this album when I was 12 years old and in the 7th grade in 1973. I met Mr. Karr later that same year when he came to our town to do a program. He had me "hold" his bass while he went to get some "Bass is beautiful" buttons for us to wear. Just before he left he said, "Oh, don't drop it - it's a $45,000 dollar bass." I held tight. What a great guy!

His playing sounds so strong and delicate at the same time. There is just no hesitation or fear in his sound.
