Hi Greg:

Thank you so much for the daily commentaries as usual. I would like to share a "gofundme" project with you. This is a genuine request by an exceptional violinist who got into a serious accident last year. He has not been able to play the violin since then, and he is in need financial help for a big surgery in March. Please read his story so you can understand a little bit of why this money is needed -- the insurance won't pay for it, basically.

Being a musician all my life, I truly feel his pain and suffering. But in his words, he still shows lots of hope and the will to fight this battle. Please also read his reply to a blog post on violinist.com:

This was my first time donating to someone whom I don't really know on gofundme. But I know this is a genuine story, and I am hoping you will help spread the words and maybe even help him. On his gofundme page, he has shared some of this beautiful playing on youtube. I hope you also find his playing to be beautiful and enjoyable. He is truly a wonderful musician.

Thank you.
