To paraphrase Elle Driver in "Kill Bill ll" who said about the word "Gargantuan:"  "You know, I've always liked that word...'gargantuan'...so rarely have an opportunity to use it in a sentence."

 

Well, the butchery is gargantuan.   :)

True. But that bloke in your YT clip is still learning.

 

 

He never fell...  :lol:

True, I just picked it because of the picture of Saraste.  I think you'll agree, Carl, that my picture of Sarasate is better than your's.  :)  I guess neither Mr. S, or Mr. Sz. or the accompanist look as good as Miss Miss.  And the little touch of leg wouldn't do much for our boys.

I have to agree. Sarasate himself used to be on YT and he's not half bad.

I would not want to be the one to follow her act. How can you top such a performance?

 

She's got a B.S. in Biochemistry from USM and is headed to med school.  She came in second place for Miss America.  This little violin gig won her another $500 in scholarship money, on top of the First Runner Up prize.  :)

Dang. Well, maybe she can contribute that $500 to a hard of hearing/deaf fund. Since the judges must be suffering from a similar condition. ^_^

 

On a side note, she is not absolutely useless on the violin. She could have picked a better (easier, more suitable to her capabilities) piece to play, and it would have sounded good. Well, better, at least.

Hmm!  Another violinist gives up a sure concert career to become a brain surgeon.  Now, how many times have we seen that happen?   :)

Lol...well give the doctors credit..many are fine musicians. They put in the time to both learn their instrument and to keep it up...

So:  One of the Doctors in the orchestra keels over with a heart attack.  The conductor coolly  turns to the audience and asks, "Is there a musician in the house."   Barroom-boom!

 

I just heard one of the funniest shows on an old time radio program.  Fred Allen is visiting Boris Karloff's home, an old ghostly mansion, of course.  He's tells Allen not to look in the basement.  Well, of course Fred can't resist, so he looks and there are two guys down there telling and recording one liner jokes and feeding them into a machine.  I can't remember more than one but it was:

 

"Do you know the Gettysburg Address?"  "Why, I didn't even know he had moved."

 

Allen meets Karloff's girlfriend who is just a head.  She explains that Karloff took her to a surgeon for a bunion on her foot, and by the time he was finished cutting, she was nothing but a head.  Allen cries out, "Karloff must be mad."  The girl friend answers, "HE'S mad?!  How do you think feel?"

 

Anyway, Allen figures out that Karloff is creating an "Atomic Joke" and Karloff confesses he is trying to distill the perfect joke that will destroy radio once and for all.  But Allen tells him he can NEVER destroy radio because if Jack Benny couldn't do it, no one could.

 

I should have posted this on Halloween, but this is close enough.   :)

It's easy for all you critics to demean her violin playing, but how many of you would look great in a ball gown?

Me, of course, for one, and none of mine look to have come from the clearance rack at a chain bridal shop.  As regards her playing, would you have done as well while experiencing a partial malfunction in a taffeta disaster and heels?  :P
