Giovanni Bottesini

Giovanni Bottesini (1821- 1889) was an Italian Romantic composer, conductor, and double bass virtuoso (the god of basses). His most famous work was his second Double Bass Concerto. Due to his virtuosity, his nickname was “The Paganini of the Double Bass”. Paganini was another virtuoso but with the violin and he was known for his absolutely unforgiving pieces and being known as some of the technically most challenging pieces on the violin. Bottesini would compose works that showed the world that the double bass wasn’t an accompaniment instrument but instead one worth a solo. He was also one of the few performers to use a french bow hold instead of a german which was more or less reserved for violins, violas, & cellos.

Yo did you see that double bass performer?

Yeah they must be the next Giovanni Bottesini

VHS ALERT: BOATERS & ANGLERS

Da wording on a dockside sign dat warns aquatic sportsmen about of a serious bacterial infection of fish caused by throwing videocassettes into the water.

I always find da "VHS ALERT: BOATERS & ANGLERS" signs puzzling, since conceivably most folks who would be venturing out on a lake or river would not even have televisions or VCRs with them, and so there should be little problem of folks tossing their broken/unwanted tapes overboard while they were cruising around in their skiffs and yachts.
