    How in the world would you ever Write something like this, and THEN REMEMBER it note for note, and THEN perform it PERFECTLY?????

    Truly fantastic. Edgar Meyer's playing is perhaps the most economical playing of any player on any instrument I can think of. Both of his right-hand and left-hand technique look like they take absolutely no effort, and yet he produces this type of music. It's astonishing.

    Edgar has such excellent tone. Every note played with perfect precision. It's in such perfect unison that it feels like the notes are hugging each other.

    Never have I heard such lines on mandolin or violin, they sound more like jazz and blues lines rather than fiddle lines
