What Drew Me To The Violin Was

Conducting Is A Strange Thing To Teach.

When You Play A Violin Piece, You Are A Storyteller, And You're Telling A Story.

I Don't Listen To A Lot Of Music When I Have My Free Time. But I'll Go To A Jazz Club And Have A Drink And Listen To A Good Jazz Musician. Or Sometimes In The Morning, If I Want To Put Myself In A Good Mood, I'll Put On Some Latin Music.

There Are Some Days I Take My Violin Out And It Feels Dreadful, Like Nothing Is Responding, And I Want To Sell It And Get Rid Of It. And The Next Day Suddenly The Skies Open Up And The Sound Is Glorious Again. So It's Like A Relationship: There Are Good Days And Bad Days.

When You Play For Ticket-holders, You Are Already Validated. I Have No Sense That I Need To Be Accepted. I'm Already Accepted.
