Violin Serenade, Jim Park, Meditation of Thais by Massenet

What would I do without the violin? Sometimes when there are no words, it has spoken for me. I have played this violin piece (the Meditation from Thais by Massenet...Meditacion de Thais) that has so often in the past, translated my heart...in front of many or as a serenade. I am still really a street/subway musician at heart. And I actually went back recently to San Francisco to put on tape those days there and New York City years ago a as a street and subway musician...here at this link...

And here is my latest serenade, if you'd care to look:

If you've taken the time to listen, I thank you. On the day I played this, my heart was full. And it was just a dry run...only the second time through with the pianist...I hope it came from that place of peace in the universe...Thanks for visiting...If you'd like, I am available for weddings and other engagements...www.kansascityviolinist.com...info@kansascityviolinist.com...Kansa­s City (Overland Park) violinist, Jim

I've discovered great musicians in subway stations. I always stop, listen, clap and then put some money and get a business card. I'm a wedding planner and when I need a violinist, I hire those that I discovered in subway starions or the street. Thanks to musicians like you!

Superb.Well done, I love the sound of your violin. Reminds me ( and I am not kidding) a Gasparo da Salo which belonged to a professor and I had the opportunity to play it many years ago. Specially in the low registers, the G string. Awesome. Congratulations.
