What do you look like?

Interesting. I love American history (minored in it "by accident"), but I never really liked military history much. It's certainly a popular area of history, though.

I've also been to the beaches in Normandy and saw all of the seaweed-covered 'capsules'.

Okay, here's a picture of me from 2009 conducting my high school's orchestra. It's poor quality because it's a snapshot from a video. We had an awesome music program and seniors could choose a piece to play as a soloist for the last Spring concert -- really an amazing opportunity, yet most seniors didn't want to do this (it was optional). I was thinking of Bartok's 1st Rhapsody for violin and orchestra, but the director suggested that I use the opportunity to conduct a composition of mine.

It was actually quite an evil piece because it starts with the viola section quietly playing a lyrical theme alone in the key F# major (six sharps, plus a lot of accidentals and no reliable tonal center). Considering there wasn't much rehearsal time, I was very happy with the result and grateful to have the opportunity.



Now you won't think I look like Ravel every time you read a post of mine!

I meant to post this earlier, but I couldn't find the video. Here's a screenshot from a recent (December 2013) video of me playing the violin (my friend at the piano, behind me). Anyone care to guess what we were playing?

Rhapsody in Blue.

Rhapsody in Blue. 

But I do love that piece. I like the PC even better, though.

Ravel VS?

With temple blocks, police/train whistles (on music stand), and bongos (among other things)??

Ligeti "Mysteries of the Macabre".

Start with a picture of Cary Grant. Add the body of a male ballet dancer. Toss in an elegant bespoke Saville Row suit.
I look just the opposite.

There is something wrong with your Play Station (or possibly TV), Greg.
