Take A Trip To The Classics

There are some buskers who play you such sweet music, you can only stop, listen and smile. Such is the skill of Melvyn Cann, a musician who lovingly plays his magic in Melbourne. I came across him in Lygon St, Carlton, was transported straight to violin heaven and consequently a fraction late for work.  Nevermind, it was worth it. Only later did I realised there was fame attached, Melvyn is not only a well known violin player in Melbourne town, he is also an accomplished artist. You can find write ups about him on the internet, it's where I stole this list of composers he is capable of performing: Beethoven and Brahms, Albinoni and Massenet, Mendelssohn and Chopin, and, of course, Vivaldi and Bach.

This one deserves the appreciation.
