As a rule, whenever you park your vehicle in the Walmart parking lot in Willows, you hear music from the “Walmart Channel” being broadcast over their speaker system. However, when this reporter visited Walmart on Wednesday to do some grocery shopping, he was surprised to hear live music playing when he got out of his van. Not only that, the instruments being played were obviously fiddles, and the two boys playing them were performing The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army”. I went inside the store and did my shopping, then, after loading my purchases into my van, I grabbed my camera and walked over to the young musicians. I learned that they were brothers: Ari Nercessian, 14, and Aven Nercessian, 12, of Stonyford. Their musical tastes range from Country and Gospel to Alternative and Classic Rock, among other genres. According to their father, they plan to audition for America’s Got Talent on June 20. Right now, though, they are trying to raise enough money to buy electric violins.
