So I'll stick to what I've got, and that's a lot!Upright Bassisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06169975941861019964noreply@blogger.comBlogger11100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141637316913619113.post-33625489369742668332007-02-28T21:31:00.001+01:002010-08-24T11:34:30.951+01:00<blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;">Well hello, first of all …<br />I don't know if you knew, but …</span></blockquote><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">I tried to create my blog by the name of «uprightbass», but that was already taken.<br />So I played around a little bit (and found a lot of pages that had little or nothing to do with the bass-related subject, plus a few useful) and this — </span><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">«uprightbassist»</span> — is <span style="font-style: italic;">almost</span> it, so that's where I'll lay my hat for some time …<br /><br />As a besides, the headline and the quote at the beginning is an attempt to translate an opener line issued by the German comedian <a href="http://www.ruedigerhoffmann.com/">Rüdiger Hoffmann</a>:</span><br /><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;">Ja Hallo erstmaaal …<br />Ich weiß nicht, ob Sie's wussten, aber …</span></blockquote><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">But I guess you have to <a href="http://www.myvideo.de/Videos_A-Z?searchWord=R%C3%BCdiger+Hoffmann">see him</a> (below: his appearance at “TV total”) to appreciate that. There is also a <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%BCdiger_Hoffmann">Wikipedia Germany entry</a></span><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"> about that Rüdiger from Paderborn.
