Hi to all the Joshua Bell fans!

My name is Gizem and I'll be takeing over this site. Some of you might know that this site belonged to Carmen a dear JB fan, but she is not gonna be able to take care of it because of her busy schedule. So she asked me if I could do it and I said "Sure hand it over, I'd love to do it for the greatest JB fans." :-)

Well as for me I am really honered to take care of this site. And I'll be updating new stuff and maybe new pictures.

Its kinda funny how I got to a Joshua Bell fan. Well about 7-8 months ago I didn't even play the violin. I was mostly into listening and just playing the piano a little. One day I was watching a movie called "The Music of the Heart." I could imagine most of you probably watched this movie. But when I watched this movie I didnt know anything about the violin or did I know any violinists. Actually at the end of the movie where the famous violinists were there I thought they were actors... The most embarissing thing was that when they said Joshua Bell I thought to myself "Wow he's hot, I wish he was a real violinist." Well, the truth os the matter is I didn't even know who Itzak Pearlman was...

The next day, after watching the movie, I went to our schools music teacher and asked him if I could take a violin class. I did this because that movie really inspired me and suddenly I had this feeling to play the violin. He said that it was alright and I was really happy!

Well, truth of the matter is I didn't know about Joshua Bell untill I watched "The Red Violin." I was really moved by the great music of that movie so I waited for the ending and I wanted to see who wrote the music and who played it. There it comes... "Joshua Bell? OH MY GOD!JOSHUA BELL!!!" I'm thinking to myself I gotta calm down... Then I got to my computer and started searching about Joshua Bell. "And here it is. Now lets see a picture of him..." ::Gizem falls from her chair:: "Oh My God! THATS JOSHUA BELL?!"

Well I think you can imagine the shock that I was in. I mean I always thought of violinists as old man with beard. Well that image is gone from my head now! But what I'm saying is I fell in love with his music and not him.

Anyways I think I should stop telling this story... But please send me some of your stories. I would love to put it up on my site!


Love,
Gizzy
