The violin is the devil's instrument and when played solo like this makes me want to stop sinning and try to earn a place in heaven - who needs fire and brimstone with this noise as an effective alternative.

It is so terrible, I had to switch off. Totally unoriented deedledoodle.

Teeth-pulling noise.

Damned lightweight dilettantes. Why won't anyone tackle a serious issue these days?

I find it highly unlikely that it's a coincidence.  Bill is an artist when it comes to crafting a playlist and that transition isn't something that would just happen.

I use to go see her every week with Susan McKeown in the early 90s.
Amazing to see live.

Don't recall ever hearing Eileen Ivers on RP - thanks - saw her at Strathmore in Maryland - pure delight!

I would imagine it's her, but those are bow-hairs, not strings.

Nice blend of blues and country. Always like to hear the diversity of RP.
