You thought you knew Coldplay.
But you haven't heard Viva la Vida until you've hear it on a
6-String
Electrical violin
By world renowned violinist
Tracy Silverman.
WOW.
But I digress.
One of our Young Women Advisers is a Professor at Delta College and
she got us tickets to the Stockton Symphony concert featuring Tracy Silverman.
So we gathered all the youth (and by all I mean the 2 that showed up.
out of the 8 that rsvp'd) and headed over to the theater.
It was one of the best performances I've seen, and I wish he'd just played the entire time.
Let me tell you a little of what I learned about Tracy Silverman.
At 16 he started attending Chicago Music College.
He went to Julliard and was named a Distinguished Alumni.
There was no such thing as a 6 string violin..
Till he made one.
He also figured out a new way to use the bow.
And he plays a fretted violin.
(I didn't even know those existed.)
He does this thing where as he's playing live, he records himself
for like 12 measures and sets it to play on a loop.
Multiple times.
So it sounds like there are 4 or 5 of him playing.
Ah-maz-ing.
Here is a totally awesome video of him playing Led Zeppelin. Check it.
