The Violinist

<< < (2/2)

musicman:
If I played the violin in the street, I believe that I would get a whole lot of attention.  I would definitely be arrested. . .not for disturbing the peace, but for mocking everything considered decent involving sound and humanity.  Even the little kid would tell me to put a sock in it.


I think that I would recognize that caliber of a musician (Joshua Bell).  Generally though, I'm the guy that sees 2 or 3 person bands with a synthesizer and realizes that the guy holding the trumpet or trombone isn't actually playing it.

smeacham:
As a Violinist, I can affirm that a Violin played poorly sounds worse than just about anything.

Harmonica - that's where it's at.  Played well, it's one of the most beutiful and expressive instruments.  Played poorly, it still sounds decent.

Wow, I would've loved to experience that in person!

I play the 5-string banjo, of which there are about 2 million jokes, most of which are true.  Bluegrass is my favorite music, but I listen to a lot of different styles.  I'm blown away by talent like I just saw on the youtube video.

Thanks for posting that.
