Benjamin got to sit next to the Celtic dancers!

whart --

Benjamin plays saxophone. His concentration his first year at Berklee has been baritone, but he plays soprano, tenor and alto. He's also a pretty fair clarinetist. (It broke my heart when he stopped clarinet lessons -- my favorite jazz instrument.) He's a fair pianist and guitarist.

Watched the video and it was awesome! Over my computer speakers, you would almost swear there were some violins playing along. You have to be one proud father Mark.

I should introduce him to a woodwind player i know in Nashville who is probably one of the best natural musicians i've ever heard. (Dude taught himself to play pedal steel, not an easy instrument). His son studied cello at Indiana and just finished a year ago, or so.

That's awesome Mark. Hopefully you can find a better video.

IU has an incredible school of music. Janos Starker taught cello there until he passed. The opera school is also world renown.

The Celtics were kind enough to send a DVD:
