This is crazy - I just found out this past week that a close friend of mine is a huge fan of Brian Setzer, and he plays the upright bass!

I've known this guy for a couple of years, now, and we've talked about a number of things, mostly the Astros, but I never knew this. My cousin was the one who found out from him, and I think we've convinced him to bring the bass to my party tomorrow. We've already chatted about the music, and he seems to like Brian with the Stray Cats more, but I plan to show him some of my Orchestra CDs and DVDs. I guess that my being a Band nerd is why I enjoy the big band sound more.
