Actually, Jake Busey IS playing. He learned just for this role. He also plays guitar, Bass and Drums. Zoë Poledouris , who wrote several other pieces for the movie, does not play the violin. It is all Jake, and he is GOOD.
There are two pieces played in this scene - the first one with the faster tempo is "Dixie". I don't know the name of the slower melody played during the slow dance at the end of the scene. I suspect it may be part of Basil Poledouris' original score, but I can't confirm that.
And the actor isn't playing the violin, the actual violinist is a "she". :)
I read an intervuiew with Jake Busey not long ago and yes, he is playing. He actually learned to play just for the movie. He also plays drums, bass and guitar in several bands. He's a very accomplished musician.
Is the Dixie-Song (first part) with the electric violin available as mp3 (in original without the background noise)?
I like this song and would like to have it in good quality and full length. Its not on the official soundtrack.
