You don't by chance live in the Raleigh Durham area, do you? I miss making music with a trumpeter. I agree, the cello would be a fun instrument. I have a 2 year old daughter and I'm looking forward to her taking violin lessons so that she can teach her old man how to play.
Unfortunately not :/ I actually live in Boston, so I'm more than a short trip away from Raleigh. If you want to see some cool cello playing check out this video. I saw him perform live at a jazz festival in Boston last year and it was absolutely amazing.
That was fantastic, thanks for the link. The emotion in his picking or pizzicato(?) is really fantastic. I liked the composition too. Thanks for putting him on my radar.
No problem! I'm absolutely mesmerized every time I watch him play...absolutely stunning.
