Chris Thile's passion for music is so strong that not only can you feel it from a mile away, you can be knocked unconscious by it from a mile away as well! 🤩
Yay! An excerpt from "Attention!" I'm especially happy to hear this particular excerpt, as I recognized the melody from Chris' song "Mutton and Strawberries" that he debuted on his radio show, Live from Here. Hearing the choir break into that melody absolutely stunned me when I saw this performed live. I've missed Live from Here so much ever since it was cancelled, but its spirit lives on in this piece.
“The kid from Nickelback.” 😂 Chris Thile is a national treasure!
