Kallie Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiSi30YIQhs I would not want to be the one to follow her act. How can you top such a performance?
MarkBouquet Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 I like those upper bouts, and that's an awfully nice tailpiece too.
jezzupe Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Now that was a kitsch malfunction waiting to happen!
Kallie Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Posted October 31, 2015 I am speechless. Great soloists also has that effect on me...
Will L Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 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.
Carl Stross Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 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...
Will L Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 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.

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.
MeyerFittings Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 If Mississippi wore Missouri's New Jersey, what would Delaware? Idaho, Alaska.
uncle duke Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 True. But that bloke in your YT clip is still learning. He never fell... I wish my A string notes sounded like his. About mid-way into performance.
Violadamore Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 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.
Rue Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 She has a great Wikipedia page too... I feel so sweet after reading all about her...I need a shower...

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.
Will L Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 She's got a B.S. in Biochemistry from USM and is headed to med school. Hmm! Another violinist gives up a sure concert career to become a brain surgeon. Now, how many times have we seen that happen?
duane88 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 http://www.world-doctors-orchestra.org/ Around here, when they visited last time, a few of the musicians in the symphony suggested that they would like to see the musicians get to go into the hosp. and perform as doctors for a day! Nice dress, though.
Rue Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 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...
Will L Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 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 I 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.
asovcl Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 It's easy for all you critics to demean her violin playing, but how many of you would look great in a ball gown?
Rue Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 At her age? Quite a few of us... But she has great hair... And a great "fake" smile. Can't top that at all!
Will L Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 And she'll probably be less dangerous with a scalpel in hand than a violin.
Rue Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 Aren't you the optimist! <= note the practiced smile...
Violadamore Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 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?
