Good for him. Good for that teacher for not pushing him into the classical if he didn't show interest. Good for his fine bright parents for taking his talent seriously and feeding and caring for it. From little seeds great trees grow.

Now, can he play BWV 1004 Part 5?

He should move to Texas. Because if you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band. That lead guitar is hot, but not for Louisiana man...

I wonder if this kid knows that fiddle players are required to lose 3 teeth and move to West Virginia by the time they are 18?

Seriously - cool stuff/nice article!

Daily Horoscope for January 3

Gemini

You are in a dissatisfied mood, and are just spoiling for a fight today. However, be warned that this could backfire on you unpleasantly, especially if you take on superiors at work. At home, everyone is used to your behaviour and they generally make allowances for you, as they will today.
