I was sitting in the front row and he threw the broken string towards the audience like a rockstar at the end of the concerto 😂 , but a string doesn't travel that far through the air so I was lucky it landed right on my lap. I was hoping the whole thing was filmed, but yea I felt just like you that it's not that appropriate to film in this setting.

Oooh really was that you?! You took it with you? That's amazing...I would've loved a token like that haha!

@benjtheo414 11 ай бұрын

@@b03tz haha yes definitely took it with me! It's a nice memory of something that occurs very rarely, because normally if a string breaks the violin just gets passed through the orchestra, but this time he finished the concerto with a broken string. To be honest, I didn't even see it happen because I was paying attention to the cellos. Would have loved to see how he managed to deal with the scenario on video, but I think that everyone started filming after it already happened unfortunately. But anyhow, thanks a lot for uploading :)

It seems like Ray really loves breaking his E strings on Tchaikovsky specifically

@Quotenwagnerianer 10 ай бұрын

Ray is a textbook example of what you gotta have to stand out and become famous: 1. Be excellent and what you do 2. Be good looking 3. Be charming If you are just 1 without two and three you will only have moderate success.

@@nancyjfs I wouldn't call Mandarin a dialect, more a language or even a family of language which includes a lot of different dialects. Ray speaks Taiwanese Mandarin, since that's the country he's from.

@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia Many scientists who study linguistics still debate about difference of dialect and language. So there is no sense to argue about it

@@tselkovyy I didn't post my previous comment to argue, just sharing my thoughts. Calling something that is spoken by more than 1 billion people a dialect seems very weird to me, but it may be because the term "dialect" isn't used in my native language the same way it is in English.

@UnshavenStatue 10 ай бұрын

his own videos tend to be a fairly americanized accent, but when he's in olaf's videos his aussie comes out strong, altho i think this here on stage is even stronger than with olaf. i guess multitasking a string replacement on stage brought out his most native dialect of english lol

Ray has a trick to attract public to concert: start a story, do not go till the end so people has to buy another ticket to know the conclusion. It costs him a string.

Long story short: the "jolly swagman" jumps into a body of water known as a "billabong" here in Australia in order to hide from anyone after him but ends up drowning. The legend is that his ghost can be heard singing "come a Waltzing Matilda with me".
