Not connected until I received a letter from the Celebrity Series of
Boston (asking for money, of course) mentioning them --
Yo-Yo Ma's Goat Rodeo Sessions -- collaborations of Ma with 3 string
players from a different world.
Now a recording. For which see Wikipedia, "The Goat Rodeo Sessions",
which defines "goat rodeo" as "'a chaotic situation', a reference to
the unusual and challenging aspects of blending the classical and
bluegrass genres." And which also says "Yo-Yo Ma describes Goat
Rodeo as followed, 'If there were forks in the road and each time
there was a fork, the right decision was made, then you get to a goat
rodeo.'" Yo-Yo's is not my vision of a goat rodeo.
