For Your Listening Pleasure: Lindsey Stirling

A little music for your Monday.

The last time I wrote about amazing musicians was when I wrote about 2Cellos, Sulic and Hauser, I think. Anyway, I have another one for you. Violinist Lindsey Stirling. If you've already heard of her and love/hate her music, I apologize for not telling you anything new. I you haven't heard of her, prepared to be WOWED. Ok, maybe not. But I think she's absolutely great.

Lindsey first gained notoriety in 2010 when she made it in the top 48 contestants on America's Got Talent's fifth season. It was the same season 10 year-old opera prodigy Jackie Evancho was competing in. Michael Grimm ended up winning.

Here she performs her song Shadows



And here is one of her newest that she uploaded to YouTube a month ago. Breathtaking.

Have a great week.
Talk to you soon,

2Cellos (Sulic and Hauser) - Smooth Criminal

It's a bit past midnight here in Wisconsin, but I wanted to share this with you before I went to bed.

We're still working on moving. Not surprising, since we started yesterday and it's been just my daughter and I. We've got the kitchen about moved in and put away. woo hoo...Our laundry is moved over, and in the closets. another woo hoo. The guys are able to help this weekend, so hopefully we'll get a lot done.

While Baby Girl was waiting for me to finish up what I was doing, she was catching up on her Facebook. I'm glad she did. She showed me this amazing video of these very gifted cellists. I had to look them up and found this article on Wikipedia. From the wiki article, Sulic and Hauser are currently recording an album with Sony Music Entertainment under the name 2Cellos, which will be released in July!

I would have never seen any of this, had my daughter not taken a break.

Here's another awesome performance:
