I've been following Luna Lee for years now and I'm always excited when she comes out with a new video.

I first discovered her through her covers of Stevie ray Vaughn. She amazing. And it's a really cool instrument too.

ETA: I started this comment before watching the video, because I already knew she was amazing... but she is not only wearing purple, she looks very sad too.

And thanks for the observations. I completely missed the fact that she's wearing purple. As for her demeanor, I'm always fascinated by how Luna becomes utterly possessed by the spirit of the music she's playing, and that seems to be the case here.
