The MSOC remembers virtuoso double bassist Gary Carr. Soloist, educator, humorist, showman, and most of all, ambassador for music and his instrument. He will be missed.

This is part of a larger BBC documentary called "The Great Double Bass Race", about the 1978 Double Bass meeting at the Man Isle.
