Glenn Donnellan playing National Anthem at Washington Nationals game on his bat-violin

Our friend and neighbor Glenn Donnellan, who plays for the National Symphony Orchestra, created an electric violin from a Louisville Slugger bat. He played the National Anthem Aug. 8 at the game between the Washington Nationals and the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was the first time he'd played the bat-violin publicly, although his YouTube video posted July 1 has already gotten more than 150,000 hits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9LXHr... .
