And for a new face---Alma Deutscher. That link is to a piece that appeared on 60 minutes last night. This young lady is truly gifted and amazing. Here she is performing her first violin concerto in G Minor with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra.

A savant without the idiot part?
Her prodigy has been widely known for some years now. That she plays the piano as well as she plays the violin and composes is astonishing.

Are you an AC/DC fan Waco, color me impressed.
Speaking of Thunderstruck. Here is one that is a bit different.

I see the group was waiting on Ben and his accordion to start.
An AC/DC fan? Sorry to disappoint, but not really. My son growing up successfully terrorized me playing them though. I did like the video and appreciate the skill involved. Below is more my speed (slow and evocative) with the 2Cellos performing seriously in front of an orchestra. The cello can be exquisite, yes? It is the closest instrument to the human voice and these two musicians can communicate with their instrument beautifully.

OK, this is not YouTube, but it is video music, so that seems close enough and I started the thread anyway, so...
Michael Cleveland And The Flamethrowers

This one is Bluegrass, but the musicality is remarkable principally by the namesake of the band, Michael Cleveland, but the other players are super fine on their own too. I love the way the banjo player looks at Cleveland playing the five-string fiddle with the reverence he is due.

Holy moly! I do love me some fiddle music! Blue Grass, too. The tempo of some Blue Grass amazes me. This video is a great example of that.
Thanks, Joe!

This is Paul McCartney in a different group and mood than you might have heard in the past.
If you look close you will see Eric Clapton on the guitar and my friend John Clayton is playing the bass.

Tommy Emmanuel is brilliant. Here’s another playing in a guitar trio on a guitar favorite, Sultans Of Swing.

I looked for a YouTube version of Jesse Cook playing with Emmanuel on Tommy & Me but could not find it. It is special on Cook’s last album.
