It is amazing what can happen now with music technology!

She is one of my favorites.  

Crooked Still

And now for something a little different...

This band is called Crooked Still and the awesome cellist is named Tristan Clarridge. 

Yo Yo Ma and Lil' Buck

I hope you all think this is awesome! 

Popper's Requiem

This beautiful piece was written by cellist David Popper at the death of his good friend and publisher.  It was also performed at his own funeral.  I am performing it, along with two of my favorite cello buddies, at Brittany Gardner's cello studio recital on August 25th.  Let me know if you'd like to come, and I'll give you more details.  In the mean time, listen to this slice of musical heaven.
