I met this guy at the Mark O'Connor fiddle conference in San Diego. He's very young and an amazing musician. All violinists will definitely want to hear this:

The Shrinking Dollar
Do you ever feel like you're the one holding this dollar? I just spent $59 on gas today and hardly blinked an eye. Why do I still feel compelled to pick up that penny on the parking lot?
Gotta love these purses!
Oriental Trading has done it again . I'm thinking this would be a fun project. Great to give with a gift card inside. I think I feel a "make and take" coming on! Let me know if you're interested!
On Saturday night, I will be performing in a special presentation of Voices of Light – here's the production info:
merging the legendary 1928 silent film masterpiece
The Passion of Joan of Arc with a live performance of a stunningly beautiful and
evocative new work by composer Richard Einhorn. With its raw emotional power,
naturalistic acting and utterly contemporary visual style, the
critically-acclaimed film looks like it was made only yesterday. And Einhorn’s
composition for solo voices, chorus and orchestra has been praised as
“brilliantly effective” (Washington Post) and “an overwhelming experience”
(Chicago Tribune).Click here and click "audio sample" to listen to an excerpt:

Hip Hop Violinist
It seems like you hear strings everywhere these days crossing all genres of music. I'm so glad to see that violinists have been able to move beyond the stuffy classical stereotype. Don't get me wrong, I still love the classics, but it is time to broaden our scope.
There are all kinds of possibilities as a modern performer. Young violinists especially have unlimited options for creative expression/performance opportunities.
The future is bright!

We celebrated DD#2's bday with an ice cream cake from Grannie and Gramps. This shot captures her true personality -- sweet shyness. What a precious girl!
Camp Scrap
It's been a busy day. Had lots of students today.
The really great news is that I got my car back from the body shop (you know the one that I wrecked 6 weeks after I bought it). I mean, I drive a clunker for 2 years and never have an accident, and finally get a major upgrade and what do you know...
The Symphony will be playing the Star Spangled Banner for the ball game on Thursday. Another brush with local TV fame - ha...
More exciting than that is my daughter will be singing this famous tune at the ball game Friday night! She loves to sing-a!
Working on a "make and take" for Camp Scrap. It will be an accordion album to share those favorite photos or to give as a gift. Fun and easy! If you'd like to come to Camp Scrap on April 21st, send me an email!

This is a pic of the girls at the boardwalk entry to the beach. DD#2 enjoyed posing for the camera, while DD#1 was always a moving target.
My in laws went with us on this vacation. A famous quote from the trip came from the girls - whenever Grannie and Gramps would kiss they would say "now that's LOVE". We had to catch the moment of drama on camera. What could be more romantic than a kiss on the beach?
This last pic is of an alligator (I hope) on our boat cruise of the Wakulla river.
