    I was unaware of this talented musician and from this brief evidence he sounds to have been a very very able violinist and concertmaster, with (on this video at least) some evidence that the violin available to him was not up to the demands being placed on it. Sad to think such ability died at a young age.

    Vaccine damage likely.

      Given the frequency of deaths due to vascular defects among vaccine recipients, it has to be considered. How dreadful.
