    Transcendent. Better than mandolin music, it was music itself.
    A talent for trivializin' the momentous and complicatin' the obvious.

    funny....

    Gotta love the way her hair keeps getting in the way. I might bookmark this video for the next floridectomy discussion.

    And welcome Midnight! (strange thing to say in the early afternoon...)

    Welcome Midnight.
    And thanks for posting a great video.
    I met Marijke and Michiel at the River of the West Camp a few years ago.
    We should feel good about leaving the love of music in the hands of these two musicians.
    You'll never find them without a smile on their face. And, if you spend five minutes with
    them you'll find one on yours also. I only spent a few days around them yet I have many
    memories I will never forget.
    For instance, Marijke was so happy to see our faces while we were in class. She says in
    Europe everyone is deep into reading the music and all she's ever seen are the tops of their
    heads. Then watching Rich del Grosso [laughing the whole time] trying to show Michiel the
    ins and outs of a Bluegrass Jam. [Priceless]
    They are in their wheelhouse playing Classical but enjoy all kinds of music. During their
    Camp Concert Brian Oberlin jumped in with them and they did a three part harmony [with
    very strong Dutch accent] the American classic 'Ghost riders in the sky'. What a side splitter.
    I just received a e-mail from Brian tonight and the three of them will be in Concert in Hood
    River Oregon July 5th. If your anywhere near Portland you should not miss this one.

    She holds the pick (which I don't think is a BlueChip) all wrong, and her Gibson is a paddlehead, not the more-desirable snakehead.

    But yeah, they play ok, I guess.

    That must hurt when one's hair gets snagged in the strings... one more reason that bald ain't so bad... or not !

    Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?
