Lindsey Stirling - just WOW

Everything cultural, pop or otherwise. Books, movies, music, comics, poetry, random cultural geekery.

My daughters do pretty good covers of Lindsey Stirling. I hear it coming from around the house, and I don't always know if it's Youtube or live. Adding the footwork detracts from their musical performance, though. ;)
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Needs pointy ears. 8-)

She's very cute, and quite the violin player, but I can only take Lindsey Stirling in small doses. Jenny O'Connor is beautiful; here she is playing the theme from Last of the Mohicans at some renfair:

Quite flat chested, though.

She reminds me of a piano major I used to bang in college. She liked her men sweaty, and I was working a manual labor job in the afternoon. She'd show up at my apartment about five o'clock, just as I was walking in the door. We'd drink a beer, then git nekkid. Funny thing, when I asked her about the wedding ring, she told me that her husband was a psych grad student, and never got sweaty. And she liked to be banged by a hard working man. So, three or four times a week for six months, I'd help her out.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

And…yeah. Exhibit A of why I'd never trust a woman enough to chain myself to her in marriage again. Buying is for suckers. I'll stick to renting. ;)

Another from their website.

Eh…not so much. Those licks she plays are pretty repetitive and sound a lot harder than they actually are. Of course, it would be difficult to play anything too challenging, the way she dances around. I'll agree with you that she LOOKS amazing, though. :D

Lovely, talented, and a self-described nerd.

If I were [strike]15[/strike] [strike]20[/strike] 25 years younger and single.......

I saw Celtic Woman at Radio City Music Hall a few years ago, around St Patrick's Day. Lovely lasses all.

If a married person (of any gender) is fooling around, it ain't the fault of their fooling-around partner.

You can trust me around any woman, because I am happily married and my vows mean something to me. At the time, I was single, and if her vows didn't mean anything to her, I was simply the flavor of the week.

The last time I was single ('98-01) I probably did as many married women as single women. How they explained that to their partners was NOT my concern.

I saw yesterday that Lindsey Stirling's new album just went on pre-sale.
