There's a great little video for cellist Semyon Kobialka's song "Small Town Superstar," which shows why the Los Angeles musician plays his instrument in an unorthodox way. In it, Kobialka is auditioning in front of a smug, pony-tailed producer type. The cellist complains that playing with a bow is restrictive, and the producer says that Mozart and Yanni never said anything so preposterous. After the producer says that maybe Kobialka should pick up another instrument like a triangle or a kazoo, the cellist starts playing the cello like its an acoustic guitar. As the clip and his humorous song "Love Blows" reveal, Kobialka is an unorthodox cellist with a sense of humor. [ST] .
