[carchitectress1]

@weenusmusic He still plays in Downtown Disney regularly. He put out a new CD that he did with the London Symphony Orchestra...you should totally check it out if you love his music.

[thewheelrunnerjr]

@carchitectress1 omg i know,hes amazing...i was able to sit like 6 feet from him while he a playng...it brought tears to my eyes, i havnt cried in years, i even got to converse with him about music after his preformance, in my opinion es the greatest violin player of all time XD

[mauia888]

He makes me want to pick up my old violin and play again...especially this song...but i know it won't sound anywhere near his level...

I love the song both non-instrumental and his instrumental version! <3

[keyinregulus3]

I love the violin but that squeeky sound made me want to strangle myself with his violin strings...

[kanashi0ame]

Amazing play Drew!! OwO

[GorgeousLama]

It's amazing. I just love this song. I cant help but cry when I hear him, he's so incredibly talented.

[kam1am]

my dad did surgery on this guy and he gave us his CD... i listened to it a bunch and i love it, but i didnt know he was this famous!!! that is awesome

[Craziness714]

I half expected his head to explode with the sheer awesomeness of this song.

[rainbowcow21]

I would expect the concert hall to explode. his head is too awesome in itself to exlode.

[Sbguitar195]

This man honestly inspired me to play music. From violin to double bass. If i didn't see him when i was 11 in disney land, I probably wouldn't be playing music today.

Watching him made me sure when I was such a young boy that I wanted to be a musician for the rest of my life. And I have him to thank. Next time I go to disneyland, I'll make sure to thank him!

I know what i'll do for the rest of my life because of him!

[WEEDJWZ]

Relax homes, u taking this shit to seriously. He's just a humanbeing like u and me. Do shit for yourself and not for crazy musicians

[MIKLOSSSSSSSS]

que bellesa de interpretacion

[celt1299]

those arent weired faces, hes holding back the tears of his own auesomeness

[Ericsson65k2]

Oh~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!

The man is amazing-ga!!!

[NatashaAndTori]

Haha he makes weird faces when he plays! He's really good, though. I mean nothing when I say that! :0)

[Dragor360]

hey....slgolda.....i saw him at disneyland too.....nice songs arent they???well i lk it!!!

[slgolda]

We saw him this weekend at Disneyland too....my friend & I ended up buying EIGHT CD's between us - and they were well worth the money!

[celt1299]

i see him every year in disneyland outside of naples

[lynellgb67]

Passion, joy, skill, talent -- Drew has it all! I've played this hundreds of times. Always makes me cry. I have shared this video with thousands of educators as a reminder of why we teach: our highest calling is to help each student find his "violin" and learn how to play it. (I buy the CDs by the 10-packs and give them to teachers. The Romantica CD has this video -- better quality than YouTube -- on it. Definitely worth purchasing!)

[thelynx000]
