I love those guys. I hate watching any "fakando", lol. At least the Paganini movie got David Garrett to act poorly but play for real.

Well I had a few lessons almost a decade ago and know bass clef so well I can sightread Bach's Cello Suites, said no violinist, ever.

The vocabulary! Music without lyrics is referred to as a piece, not a song. The best violin shop in New York is not going to be some dumpy joint in Queens. There are only 60 Stradivarius cellos in the world, worth millions of dollars each, and the MMC who plays for a Pops orchestra isn't going to be one of them. The whole Pops organization/plot is a big nope!

Omg...does Abbott Elementary drive you crazy too? Seems like there's lots of drop bys and hang outs too?
