		<description><![CDATA[
Our interview with jazz bass legend Rufus Reid, conducted by Win Hinkle, has proven to be one of our most popular episodes of Contrabass Conversations (along with our Steve Rodby interview, which was guest hosted by Kells Nollenberger&#8211;the popularity of these interviews shows that maybe I should stay off the mic!).

		<title>Charles Mingus and toilet-training cats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Bass blog contributor Benjy emailed me recently with a link to this short article from jazz bass giant Charles Mingus on how to toilet train (not litter box train&#8211;toilet train!) your cat.&#160;&#160;This is a must-read even if you don&#8217;t have a cat. I love how the Mingus personality comes through even in this short how-to!
