I was walking down the hallway and I got a New York caller I.D.
phone call, and something told me it was important.
I'm not particularly sure what told me that, but I picked up the phone and...
They gave one digit wrong and they had apparently bee trying to reach us for a while and no one was calling back and they had to find out if we wanted to accept this award or not.
And I just heard all these words come out on the phon and I just couldn't believe it.
When I got myself together, I realized that my friends were next to me just looking at me like, what's going on?
- On the floor.
- On the floor.
Whats going on?
Because I was I was just like sitting on the floor with my violin in the back.
I was just blown away and so excited for the possibilities of wha this means for me and my career.
