I was in my car earlier on the way for a haircut when this tune came on the xm radio Sinatra Station. It was Michelle Lee singing 'Nobody does it Like Me' from the 1973 Broadway Show cast album of See Saw. Guess who the bass player was??? I had a Wenzel Wilfer bass then that I had bought a year or so before from MetMusic (Juzek) that was the top of the line then, violin corner Italian model with high flame and golden varnish. I used Spirocores then and bowed them just fine. Looking now on Youtube I found this same recording and a few others..
