I am in love.

With a couple of violinists. They're currently contenders on "America's Got Talent." They're in the top 10...last night's vote will be revealed tonight to see if they're going to be in the top 5. I believe they'll make it at least to the top 2. I hope they win because this is the kind of thing we need in the music world. They're called Nuttin' But Stringz (http://www.nuttinbutstringz.com/), and you owe it to yourself to check out their website. They have an album out already called "Struggle from the Subway to the Charts," which is available for purchase at both their website and iTunes--I chose iTunes just because I had some leftover money from old iTunes cards, hehe

I'm so SO in love with these two young men! I've always been silly about how much I love violin music, just because it's where my instrumental training began. As I've gotten older, though, I've fallen deeper and deeper in love with musicians who are able to bring violin music to a younger, more impressionable audience, which is what these two men do. They blend the classical elements of the violin with hip hop and R&B. Last night, for the Top 10 performance on "America's Got Talent," they had a drum line accompaniment...chills. I want these two young men to win so badly--Las Vegas deserves them!

Okay, that's the end of my little PSA for Nuttin' But Stringz. :) Go check them out!
