Hahaha!!! What a discovery! Gil, I didn´t know you were so funny! I have got in touch with your work through Youtube, and then I saw you and your wife Adele playing (both of you fit like Bach and Anna...), and now this video. Keep the good humor! God bless you.
Gil isn't actually running around with his priceless Stradivari (in restaurants where annoying patrons could hit it trying to get him to to stop fiddling around at them, all over the streets, hanging it over a balcony like structure, and no no no NOT in there!?)!?!?!?
I think the group on stage playing with gil was the Orpheus Orchestra who pride themselves on not having a conductor...lucky for Alan on the couch...haha
That was hysterical!
