Join professional bassist Paul Gormley for a rhythmic tour of an instrument that’s more than an oversized guitar or cello on steroids. Paul will share little-known facts and funny stories about the largest but often ignored of the stringed instruments, its evolution, its role in various musical genres, and its unexpected talents. Multi-instrumentalist Dick Hamilton joins Paul to demonstrate the versatility of the bass. $10 per person; register at olliringlingcollege.org or call 941-309-5111.
