Not the best recording, or by far the "best" performance! But definitely an example of how remarkable it is to play music. My dad and I were visiting Mt. Vernon on President's Day (right after I'd finished an audition), when a costumed fife player insisted I take out my violin. Since I didn't have any jigs, I decided to perform Bach... in front of George Washington's home on the Potomac. It was cold, we hadn't rehearsed, and he had no idea what I was playing. But it was by far my favorite event of the day :)
