    Is Eric Stanley

    An 19 year old Violinist from Virginia discovered on youtube. A fortune 500 company president was emailed a video of him by another executive. Where he was invited out to perform at a company party 2 years ago. Now he's performing concerts around the world.

    Outside of Youtube you could catch him performing with a street band in the Chesapeake VA. area. Not anymore.

    Congratulations to Eric Stanley.



    Being that I love Jazz..a bonus

    Dan you are right these guys are truly talented. Musically inclined upstarts lack talent, originality, basically they suck. But when you hear someone with depth and mastery of a instrument it capture ones imagination and souls and make you wish. when I see individuals struggle so hard or give it one shot just to show the world what they are capable of then I'm impressed.

    And my wife will tell you it's hard to impress me. When I see Eric Stanley and a few others play they enjoy it. It's in their face they love what they're doing is fun. It's like watching someone pick up a bow. Are you picking it up because some else have one or are you picking one because you're fascinated, by the curves the flight of the arrow.

    To me it's about having fun, and like music many don't get it. But these instrumentalist get it. A real Archer get it.

    Also thanks MGH-PA next week's artists is a hot one.
