quote:
they say the violin is the Devil's instrument That bit of folklore comes down to the present day in both music and literature. In 1979 the charlie Daniels band recorded a hit entitled "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," in which the devil engages in a violin-playing contest with a young man, in an effort to steal his soul. In Cormac McCarthy's magnificent novel, "Blood Meridian," a character known as "The Judge" appears as a hairless, almost supernatural being among a group of scalp-hunters in the Texas-Mexican Borderlands. He begins dancing while playing the violin wildly, and it is clearly McCarthy's reference to the devil playing the violin. Bill

But the violin sonatas are fair game? That almost looks like another light dig at Anders LOL Better - Grisha doing Bach's cello suites on a Faulk's Celluitar (or is it a Guitello?) Talking of hybrids... they say the violin is the Devil's instrument, but (having recently tried one) I'd say the Guilele is a far stronger candidate. Also really enjoyed the above verion of Sevilla Not a dig at Anders at all. My comments about violin vs cello are not meant as digs, but just as silly competition. Not anything bad. I decided to call mu instrument the 'Arco Seco' - like palo seco. The instrument is a cello without a bow, so it is "dry of the bow". However much it bothers me they will never stop playing the cello suites on the guitar, and hope they enjoy it and get something out of it. It is really out of my control, right? I've said many ties why I don't like it, but very few people really understand what I am talking about when I explain why it is annoying, the ones that get it are usually violinists. Celllists of course get it. It is my opinion that the cello suites should be played on instrument tuned in fifths not fourths, transcribing them to seat on fourths ruins them. They are also sacred to me in some special way, not like other music. Guitarsists challenge them like a sporting event and I hate that, which I why I will walk out on a guitarist who plays them in a concert. It is a highly personal and irrational thing for me.
