Pretty cool stuff. I've enjoyed the Roots cover, too.

Wonderful.

why not ask, instead of half-asking it???

Violinist is pretty slick. Is this a one time video exclusive dealio, or are they a part of something else?

"why not ask, instead of half-asking it???"
I did.

Dope.

I played violin for about 13 years growing up. Kinda makes we want to dig it out of the closet. He's way cooler than I'd ever be on a classical instrument.

BTW, I'm watching this and the rabbit video at the same time-- makes for an interesting soundtrack.

As it has a violin it could go into the Bravo collective

love it!
so creative!

Amazing fiddler!!

he's a bit too amazing for my tastes, kinda overdoing it in places, but i like that it's still sounding raw, definite upvote.

Reminds me alot of Ki-Oku (DJ Krush vs. Toshinori Kondo)http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=&sql=10:hxfpxqqjldke

I like this.. shows true talent

Nice sift. Maybe you'd get more invites and votes if you'd change that creepy avatar of yours.

"As it has a violin it could go into the Bravo collective "
Really? Oh goody. I was under the impression that the Bravo! collective was meant for classical music only. I figured this video would push it, but I will be happy to add it.
"Nice sift. Maybe you'd get more invites and votes if you'd change that creepy avatar of yours."
You know, I think it would be incredibly sad if someone would downvote any of my submissions or refuse to invite me ssimply because of my avatar. Incredibly closed minded, wouldn't you agree?

I'm going to take it a step further and say it - *art!

re: the avatar. It's the hair dude.

Video added to art channel (art called by gold star member Krupo)

Now, that's neat!

Do I hear Slayer - Raining Blood at 4:30?

"re: the avatar. It's the hair dude."
lol. I get that alot. I just dislike having short hair. That and I don't always comb it.
"Do I hear Slayer - Raining Blood at 4:30?"
It does sound like it, however I am not sure if that was intentional. I don't really care for Slayer's lyrics, but they are excellent musicians. I wouldn't mind hearing some of their instrumental stuff.

Nice add SilentPoet! I don't seek to impose a narrow definition on the type of videos that can go into Bravo. If it has it's roots in classical, dance or opera it's fair game. Then again VS 3.0 will allow us to tag this video so it goes into the Art collective and Hiphop etc.

Oh... total agree about downvotes there... and your avatar isn't the reason we all haven't warmed up to you yet.

... but you do have to admit given your grand entrance on the blog upon joining.... the picture well, the easiest is "creepy"

After your comment threads back then, your picture just capped it off for me. And no, I'm not anti-religious at all. Just for once I'd love to see an attempt at a Christian presence around here that wasn't embarrassing.

Hmmm. I never meant it to be a grand entrance of sorts. I just brought up that specific issue because if I had to pretend that I wasn't Christian to get along with folks here, well, I wasn't going to stay on this site. Heck, I still caught flak over that anyhow. It wasn't like I did anything wrong, per se. I suppose the fact that my avatar had a cross in it suggested that I was a Christian. And for some reason, when I said I hope we could have civil and open discussion of religion, few actually took me at my word. All because I had a cross in my avatar, seemingly. That bugged me and it still does. I really expected better from the users of this site.

music!

i can hold back my violin hatrid for this one. 'twas nice.

reminds me of fingathing (turntables and doublebass).

You know, so long as we're talking about religion, I saw an albino Jew the other day. True story. He was hosting at a small cafe I went to with my parents for breakfast.

That had (almost) nothing to do with anything but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Viva la random comments!!

Climb off the high horse, Silent Poet. Your tact since your joining here has been far from genuine. If you won't be truthful about your motivations to us then at least try starting to be to yourself. If you're going to behave like most Jesus fish wearing, Scofield carrying, closet Petra fans and then turn around and pretend you relate to the rest of world then you need to stand back and evaluate. You damage your cause more than inspiring others to be like you.
Perhaps we should make this a private conversation where I'll feel freer to help you see what you really represent to the secular community.

I'm rarely critical of folks here or their viewpoints. The asses around here I find just as endearing as the sweethearts. Sorry, you just happen to be one of those people that grates me. I'm not the only one that feels this way either. Can't you see why?

Yay, soap opera on a video voting site. Good video; voted for it. Don't care about the rest.

Awesome video! I want to hear more of this kind of thing.

You're right 999, I'll take this somewhere else (profile). I have an old beef w/ SP's impertinent introduction to VS: http://www.videosift.com/talk/Reasons-to-believe#leavecomment
