Actor says Canada will never have a robust national culture on a purely volunteer basis [The Globe and Mail: Arts].< 5:22:58 PM  >The Seattle Times: Great young violinist with a great old violin Fulton has loaned violins to some of the world's great players, and he calls Ehnes "one of the finest violinists on the planet. He ranks in the top half-dozen of the best players today. I think his recordings show the same insight and depth of (David) Oistrakh (a legendary Russian violinist, 1908-1974)." The Marsick Strad, interestingly, was once played by Oistrakh. Ehnes says, "I can't tell you how important that violin is to me. It allows me to do everything that I want to do, both in terms of technique and sound. There's another aspect, too: People hear that I am playing a Golden Period Strad, and they think, 'He must be pretty good.' David has made a tremendous difference in my career and my life." We're in the final stages of another disc with James. It will be in stores this fall. .< 4:53:44 PM >Joi Ito: Rock star! . The AP... Joi Ito: Rock star!. The AP has a huge article about Joi. I mean, it's just the mainstream press which doesn't impress us bloggers one tiny bit, but, um, Wow! [Joho the Blog]
Uh... it looks like on Thursday I'll be meeting a star. ";->" [Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog] |
