I catch this show from time to time.
It's really good. (Except when there's
too many violin players. I really hate
violins.)

I hate clowns that play violins.

If I had any musical talent or ability, the violin would be my instrument of
choice. It can have such a sweet sound and can be gentle, subtle, vibrant,
exciting. Sometimes all of those and more in one piece.

From the Top is a fun show. Good to see some of the young talent.

I am always happy to hear it on the radio- Saturday morning. The kids
are so earnest but you know they are very special. I think the MC is
very good and probably makes the radio show, for me.

I too love the violin and combined with the piano, I am a really happy
listener. (I have our Honolulu NPR streaming as I type. Life is too
good!)

Don't take this personally but I really hate clowns, also.
Clowns, violins, violin-playing clowns, clown-playing violins.
And sometimes I'm not all that fond of the cello.

Mine if the piano. I play it but not very well. But it's my
favorite instrument. Chopin is my favorite composer.

Well, it *can* be that, but rarely is in my experience. It's
okay in an orchestra, but violin solos can be horribly screechy
things, and usually are. I have heard violin solos that were
pretty nice, but the vast majority make me want to pierce my
eardrums, although if I turned up the sound and listened long
enough I'm sure they would do it for me! ;-) I have a very low
tolerance for high pitched sounds. I about go berserk when I'm
behind a bus and they have those screechy brakes. It sounds like
a mad violinist plays a Stravinsky violin solo! ;-)
