Remarkable performance. interesting to me is that all commenters give credit to Tessa Lark (deservedly so) but no one acknowledges Edgar Meyer and I can't say enough about his abilities or contributions to the music world.

[@davidsambora8924]

Well, he only WROTE the damn thing...

[@texasredneckhippy]

That would be a bass-less assessment...

[@gracestokes3288]

She’s incredible and yes, Edgar Meyer is awesome! He is so precise!

[@matthewsmith8249]

Fine playing!

[@topologyrob]

Edgar Meyer is an extraordinary composer - a master of motivic development and possessing his own highly authentic compositional voice. Not bad on the bass either!

[@winstongoodman3244]

Well done! Add Banjo artist Bela Fleck to the mix and Wow!

24/11/2021: it's hard hanging on in these in-between days

[@ezno_2603]

Does anyone have any idea why Edgar had those two clamps on his extension/scroll?

[@HBOfosho]

The clamps prevent his extension from buzzing/rattling!

[@itmightbegio]

atp i look up to edgar meyer when playing the bass

[@cliffsandifer3877]

yea....make it LOOK easy. i take consolation that Im a fiddling nerd and i composed a piece for didgeridoo and fiddle.
