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?
 
 
 

 
 
And yes, I like it very much {#Shifty}

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!

Is that her breaking about 5 strings at once on the album cover photo?
 
I would imagine it's her, but those are bow-hairs, not strings.
