Added to list, thanks!

That was a cool documentary, thanks for sharing that! Such an interesting person she is!

What an uplifting film. I could only imagine playing in a band with 6-7 other basses, it’d be like a hunger game at the end of the piece, :joy:

Love how she said that we are the foundation and it’s our job to support and not stand out. Love it.

Thanks for the nudge - I had this on my list and just watched it :blush: Those newspaper articles from when she first joined :grimacing:. Nicely done film, I really liked Orin.

I, too, watched this last night. What a truly impressive and inspirational lady. Just trying to count the number of lives she has and is still touching in a positive way is overwhelming. And, nope, no man carried her luggage or instrument. I love that it was her niece who made the documentary. Thanks!
