Wonderful!  I'd heard about this project.  I like him, too.





For music that good, I can even overlook the fact that the actual term is "goat roping," never goat rodeo

There are few musicians on this planet who bring nearly as much joy into their art as does Yo Yo Ma. He is always expanding himself, learning, and creates new sounds with every project.

He's an inspiration for many, and Mrs E and I are certainly two who are inspired by his sheer joy and artistry - he makes it look easy.

It's good to know he's human, too. He once left his $2.5 million Stradivari cello in the trunk of a NY taxi.

I tried to find a good video of this song, but this was the best I could get.

The behind-the-scenes shots are interesting.

I saw Yo-Yo Ma on Fox & Friends about a week or so ago.  They did this then.  My jaw slowly dropped open when he started playing his cello--all it did was add a woodsy-type element, IMO, to the already smokin' bluegrass.  His cello is a perfect compliment to the music.  Payday is Tuesday.  I'll have the album that night.

When I worked at the lab, one of my co-workers  was a cellist in the Albany Symphany Orchestra.  Our senior PhD. nicknamed him "Yo-Yo Ma."  I thought it was an insult, until I heard Yo-Yo Ma play.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

 :exactly: Intonation, balance were perfect. Soulful singing. A real aural treat. Compare this to my stepson's caterwauling while fronting some progressive heavy metal band - earplugs were mandatory. *sigh*

^I would MUCH rather listen to this than something that sounds like 1. a cat being castrated 2. auto-tuned and mechanical 3. nonsensical lyrics that don't make any sense but hey it's a got a catchy hook!

Yeah, I love real music.

It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it.  :fuelfire:

Honestly, what I heard the other night can only be construed as screaming. Couldn't understand a damned word, the volume was insanely too much (to the point where we both had to wear earplugs), and while the whole thing was pretty cool for my stepson (his first gig with this band), Mrs E and I got the hell out of there most ricky-tick.
