Playing Strings Can Be Both Intense & Soulfully Cool, Proves Classically Trained Violinist Dominique Hammons!


Dominique Hammons' love and passion for playing his instrument is one of his most outstanding characteristics. I used to sit and sip a warm herbal mint tea while listening to the melodic resonance of crossing strings as they danced alongside Joseph Henry Douglass' classical tune. As I discovered Mr. Hammons's playing style and saw how he reimagined the old wooden stringed instrument and gave it new life, I developed a new respect for the violin. Have you heard him play? Amazing! I love it! 


Other than that, what else can I say? Listening to him play his violin is like being thrust into the core of his heart. He plays his instrument almost as if it were his heart. Watching the pure joy he radiates while playing will even bring a smile to the Grinch's face. It's impossible not to smile while watching him play. Authenticity and talent are hard to come by in today's entertainment business, but he possesses them all. I do not doubt that one day, many will read about Dominique Hammons in their history books as one of history's most excellent musicians. Here's what he shared with me.
