Are you a fan of David Garrett?
If you weren't, are you now? :) (Yes, yes, I know... marked resemblance to a certain lead singer from Zeppelin there....)
He's a German-born, Julliard-trained violinist. He does play more traditional classic violin, but he also does some amazing rock-music-based performances. A reading-group friend turned me on to his stuff, and it's really fun.
This is one of my favorites: Vivaldi and U2's Vertigo. Doesn't seem like it would work, but it does:
A more tradiational Bach piece:
And how about Dueling Banjos (If I had this much fun at work, I wouldn't be so cranky all the time):
Enjoy! All for now......
I'll have to check out the music.
Striking resemblance to the ex in his 20s. Hmmm. I had forgotten.
Too bad he gave up the guitar for the bars...

Oooo, I quite like this guy! Especially that first piece.

He's definitely got the look down. Not so sure about the rock stuff, but the banjos and bach are GOOD.
