A Magical Evening with
Violinist Geoffrey Castle |
Today I'm still delighting in last night's absolutely most amazing performance at Fish Bon Del Sur. Rick Hubbert had Electric Violinist Geoffrey Castle flown in from Seattle, Washington, and it was truly one of the most memorable concerts Bo and I have been to in our two years living in Cuenca. There was limited seating, so when we received Rick's invitation with a YouTube link to preview this great musician, we reserved our tickets immediately. What a fabulous performance by a tender and gifted musician.
So, who is Geoffrey Castle anyway? One writeup in the Seattle paper said: "Forget everything you think you know about the violin, and prepare to have your mind blown! Geoffrey Castle has made a career out of defying expectations, from his start as a street musician in New York City to playing in a Broadway show and jamming with folks from bands like Queen, Journey, YES, Blues Traveler, Bad Company and more. An engaging and entertaining performer, Castle in concert is an experience you will never forget.”
Last night, Geoffrey Castle played a variety of music that included flavors of pop, rock, jazz, and mind-blowing celtic melodies. It was beyond MAGICAL! He's a one-man band, and the audience was mesmerized and unable to sit still with this high-energied, foot-tapping, master-playing violinist. It was definitely one of those evenings that we didn't want to end.
If you missed this performance, you missed it big time! If you are a "lover of music" here are a couple of u-tube links if you want to acquaint yourself with one of the greatest violinists ever:
