So what do you do when you don't work with @the_halle ? You record the Bartok Solo Violin Sonata, twice in different versions. 🤟😀 Here is the 1st movement, in the 2nd version: youtu.be/VvASNM_QedY

On my way to Bucharest, I've been stuck in Munich since last night... Little hope of continued travel for now.

Congratulations Jonathon! 👏

It caused software to malfunction. Hopefully all that will be voided.

@DistroKid I keep submitting your useless Youtube mapping error forms, and nothing ever gets fixed! I am going to leave Distrokid with the artists I manage, and move everything to another distributor since I clearly get no help from you.

@DistroKid I have been trying for over a year to fix various problems with the YouTube Official Artist Channel for "Chemical Reaction" (Artist name) and the help I received so far from Distrokid is truly non existent!

By the way, I support United too! 😀(I live in Manchester) Anyway, I enjoyed the little chat and I guess we'll agree to disagree.

I disagree, profoundly, since it is very similar to the situation in Moldova, or Georgia, and Putin would use the exact same arguments there too, if necessary.

And yet none one of those I know agree with Putin.

And so did the British National Party in the UK, for example. It doesn't define the UK, as the extremist in the Ukraine do not define Ukraine. None of the Ukrainians I know, and there are quite a few in music circles, are 'nationalist' or racist.

And that has nothing to do with the US, and it's not something anyone will change over the course of 10 years.

I come from a former Iron Curtain country with over 600 km of border with the Ukraine. I grew up partly under communism, and I still remember a certain fear of Soviet tanks. I'm also aware there is little love left for Russia especially when they try to impose their will.

I don't believe that is what the majority of the Ukrainian people would want, and that's what should matter more than anything.

I would argue that nowadays there is far less nationalism and right wing extremism in the Ukraine than it is in the USA. Also, do you think it is a coincidence that most former iron country countries would never dream of going back to Russia?

When it comes to Ukraine, from my point of view the only thing that matters is what do most of them want? People don't just feel Ukrainian over night because somebody convinces them so. None of the Ukrainian people that I know feel Russian, or would want to be Russian.

I don't find it strange at all because nothing that happens today was unforeseen or unexpected. In fact there were people already predicting the current events in 2014. Also the political 'splits' in Ukraine, were not unique, but very similar in other former Soviet countries.

Of course you are free to make up your mind, just know that 'documentary' it is not necessarily unbiased. The article in the link I posted was written by a Russian civil rights activist, by the way.
