This guy had found an EXCELLENT way to shut the cool kids in school UP if and
when they were ever ignorant enough to call him a cello-geek.

I really like the piece below because of the obvious connections made between
the two performers during that wonderful music. I used to make those kind of
connections often with our drummer, Happy Sweaty Jimmy -- and only during
performances in front of an audience.
.
Others can observe those connections, but not really participate in them except
for enjoying those observations. They are extremely empathic and intimate
experiences for the performers -- and one of the perks of getting up there and
putting your hearts and spirits into your performance for others.
.
One of my favorite examples is the connection made between Dave Matthews
and his violinist, Boyd Tinsley (now deceased) at the Folsom Fields performance
of "All Along the Watchtower". Wonderful (and also below).
