Arts all-stars and football

I want to share something else that Gyasi Parrish said to me about playing the violin. You might have seen our stories about graduating seniors who excel in the arts (and many other things). Gyasi, a Princeton High grad who is going to Georgetown University, said, "Music has opened my eyes to a lot of different things. It's something that I can fall back on to help me relax. It's something that people these days don't know how to appreciate and don't take the time to listen to.

"On my sports teams, there's only a handful of people who play musical instruments, and you can tell the difference, even in their demeanor."

Hmm, wonder if a few Cincinnati Bengals could benefit from violin lessons?
