Classical vs Fiddlin'?

In my honest opinion I am more of a classical type guy.  I love the osunds a violin can make when a classical tune is played on it, but I also enjoy a good southern fiddle sound as well.  Genre's of music are crossing over all the time.  CLassicla trained violinists are doing cover versions of famous Rock and Rocll songs, same thing for Pop music.  It is becoming more and more popular to see boys in grade and high school taking up the violin because the genre of black violin is growing in popularity.  Trans-Siberian Orchestra has become a staple fo Christmas concerts and has even began selling out their concerts with their Beethoven's Last Night tour.  Beethoven is what?  Classical.  So to anyone who thinks that a Fiddler cannot crossover and do more classical pieces, I say !!  You want to try out for a very conventional classical orchestra in your town.  Go for it.  Or as another option, try learning the classical pieces YOU like with a bit of Barry Flair!!  If Beethoven can become a symbol for rock and roll and classical cross over…who says Vivaldi can't become a crossover for the Fiddlin'/CLassical crossover. 

Make it your own.  If your orchestra doesn't like it…skrew 'em!  Make the music YOU wnat to make, not the Music anyone on here or out there says is YOUR style.  Make your own style!  And when it catches on…we'll be adding "Vivaldi Fiddlin'" to our iPods!!

And by the way… I love the videos.  Very inspiring!
