So Many Things Can Drive You Mad

The Violin Of My Dreams. If You Wanna Play A Pianissimo That Is Almost Inaudible And Yet It Carries Through A Hall That Seats 3,000 People, There's Your Strad.

Sometimes You Get From The Mouth Of Kids Wonderful Things.

I Don't Know If It's Ever Happened To You, But It's One Of My Funniest And Saddest Experiences, When You Go Into A Hotel, And They Have An Accessible Walk-in Shower. So You Go In And Open The Curtain, And There Is A Bench Off To The Side Of The Shower. However, The Shower Is Rectangular. On One Side There's A Bench, But The Faucets Are Across From You. So If You Sit On The Bench, You Cannot Reach The Faucets.

That Makes Classical Music Work, The Ability To Improvise.

Another Thing That I Don't Like To Do Is Show Too Much How It Goes. I Do It Once In A Blue Moon. Sometimes There Are Lessons When I Don't Pick Up A Violin At All.
