An interesting career combination...

From this month's Strings Magazine, a young British model/violinist - how's that for a combo?

Have a look at this video and if you're interested, he's featured on page 15 of the December issue of the magazine.

Just For Fun

Here's a little clip to give you some options to explore if you don't practice your conventional instruments....

Mr. Bernier Actually Watched A YouTube Video!

So obviously I have to post it! Mr. B is almost always too busy to venture out onto the worldwide web, so when he finds something that he feels is blog-worthy you should definitely have a look! Here it is:

And another video Mr. Bernier likes by the same artist with a very cool "watch me play all four instruments by myself" effect:

And as I was searching out those clips I came across what we will call Mrs. C's "pick of the week" for Fiddlesticks - I just adore the enthusiasm of this young man (from Norway I think.) You can do some extra googling if you are interested. The video title claims he's playing "Pump it Up" by the Black Eyed Peas, but it kind of sounds like "Pulp Fiction." Whatever it is, he's pretty amazing.

Goat Rodeo!

The new issue of Strings magazine arrived today and as I flipped through I noticed mention of the "Goat Rodeo" - a group made of superstars in the strings world who have come together to make some music! Have a look at a couple of the "teasers" they've released and see what you think of their sound. The CD will be coming out later this month.
