Mark O'Connor
Surely one of the most brilliant musical minds of his generation, fiddler/violinist/composer Mark O'Connor mixes styles to create his own unique brand of American music. Tonight, he joins David to talk about what makes his music sound American and provides examples, including his own chamber piece based on the life of Johnny Cash, "Poets and Prophets."
