i had a ton of great shadow pieces, but this gal captured my heart, she so in charge.  see the extra - speaking of "meet ups"!


  (heard the famous August Hadelvich at the Symphony as soloist with the orchestra Beethoven's Vilin Concerto in D major - we would not let him off the stage - his personal story and prowess so so so compelling - have heard a lot but never enough!  he played this one as an "extra" - caprice)

(he was in a fire as a young boy - began violin at age 8 and a prodigy -- fire burned his entire face and bow arm - much facial reconstruction and rehab and here is a genius - true grit)
