Every so often when I feel that I could use a few extra IQ points I like to give my brain a hand by listening to classical music. The soothing sound of music cascading, slow and soft at first then gradually building up to fervent vibratos that fill my ears with orgasmic swells of music.

Truly, classical music makes my arm hairs stand on end.

Here is a You Tube clip of Joshua Bell (a famous violinist) at the Hollywood Bowl playing a piece from the Oscar winning soundtrack The Red Violin.

Golden Fingers, you are the hottest classical musician I have ever laid eyes on!

I can just imagine him in his white unbuttoned linen shirt with the air blowing through his wonderfully thick hair, the linen parting, just enough so I can get a glimpse of his sculptured $4 Million dollar violin.

Good Grief!

In case you missed Joshua Bell at the bowl he will be back in LA at the Walt Disney Concert Hall April 23, 2009- April 26, 2009.
