Richard Davis
Richard is still teaching at Madison. He would have turned 77, I think, this last spring. Every year on Good Friday and Saturday he has the Richard Davis Foundation for Young Bass Players. It is the greatest thing. I've been on his Board of Directors almost from the git go, although I missed this last year. He brings in the best teachers from all over the country, and we have bass players from 4 through high school. It's the high light of my year. Every year I just feel like I'm walking on air when I leave there. He is the nicest guy and a pure soul if ever there was one.
