3. My favorite is still Obrigado

but I have quite a bit of his stuff.

[WCGreen]

4. I like him.....

But his music seems to be up and down at times....

8. *groan*

I haven't checked him out yet. I was astonished to learn that he's so big into tango. I thought he was a classical player. I previewed some of the stuff he did with Mark O'Connor recently, but it wasn't really grabbing me.

If I ever start a band, I'll call it Yo Ma Ma.

9. I like that.. Yo Ma Ma.....

He also did a bluegrass album....

5. Whenever I hear the name "Yo-yo Ma"

I can't help but think of the "Boutrous Boutrous Ghali" Seinfeld line from the shrinkage/topless at the beachhouse episode.

6. Please tell me you misspelled that intentionally.

Please.

[charlie and algernon]

12. that's how it's spelled on the CD

[crispini]

13. Um....

I think he was referring to "cello." :7

[charlie and algernon]

14. oh crap, LOL, ok, changing now

oops. :hide:


edit: and yeah, can't. well, now you know that it wasn't intentional. x(

7. YoYo is the man

I went to high school with Mark O'Connor, the fiddle player on "Appalachian Waltz". He's won a lot of awards, but I thought it was most impressive that he gets to hang around with YoYo Ma.

11. You went to school with Mark O'Connor? He is amazing. A virtuoso.

I still can't believe I MISSED a FREE MarkO concert just a mile from my house last year! Aaaagh! That still sucks.

[Missy Vixen]

15. That's horrible!

I'm so sorry to hear that you missed it!

We enjoy watching the Grammies every year and listening for Mark's name. He must use 'em for doorstops. :woohoo: You'd probably also enjoy Natalie MacMaster's music. If she comes to your town, be sure and catch her show. She's amazing as well.

16. I bought a copy of the Unaccompanied Suites...

Then found out that Ma is a big-time Bushite.
I called up and cancelled the order I had in for 4 other albums.
