Awesome!

About 9 years ago we used to get the international channel on our local cable.

I saw a video a girl playing a white electric violin ( i beiieve she was Asian) with tassels flowing from the bow- playing Vivaldi, but with a dance beat. Both visually and musically cool.

I never been able to track who she was.

I remember seeing this on PBS, between 30 and 35 years ago. It brought together Itzhak Perlman, Jean-Luc Ponty and Doug Kershaw, in a show entitled "Fiddlers 3"

Here is Jean-Luc Ponty
