I with I had known about Paul Huang coming to Knoxville. I would have made the trip to hear him. I think he's a wonderful violinist.

October 27, 2021 at 04:27 PM · That's good - You got me on that one, Paul! "Regurgitating all the news fit to print!"

October 28, 2021 at 08:03 AM · Listen to Paul Huang's Ysaye 3.

October 28, 2021 at 04:11 PM · Mike, thanks for that link. How about his Saint Saens?
