A couple of months ago, there was a thread about intonation. On one of the lists someone wrote a glowing comment (see below) about some string bass CDs recorded by Jeff Bradetich, string bass professor at the University of North Texas College of Music. I forwarded that email to him. Needless to say, he was pleased to read the comment. He asked me if I could identify the person who wrote. I think he just wants to say thanks for the nice words.
