I should have practiced a bit more and tried again, but I didn't. I miss being in an organized orchestra. My hubby has even looked around for a little community orchestra. But there doesn't seem to be that sort of thing around here. There was an ad looking for members of a community band, but it said "no strings." I thought that was pretty rude. But there you go.<br /><br />PS, I saw Ryan Tilby at a concert with some other artists. I was super impressed. Fun group.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302411325907934749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-79164445837294935592011-09-17T15:02:52.444-06:002011-09-17T15:02:52.444-06:00oh, my.

Found I had not improved since the end of my first year. I retired my violin.<br /><br />But, to this day, enjoy it's music.<br /><br />hugsGerryARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730757811478587648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-70379076100875420622011-09-17T08:25:59.105-06:002011-09-17T08:25:59.105-06:00Miss P took violin too when she was 8 or 9.

She lasted three whole weeks suffering from a genetic disorder passed down by my side of the family which means she doesn't have a musical bone in her body.<br /><br />You should totally take violin lessons.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-29503070252947338512011-09-17T08:25:29.828-06:002011-09-17T08:25:29.828-06:00Wow, they sure are an energetic and versatile grou...Wow, they sure are an energetic and versatile group of pickers, aren't they? I enjoyed hearing their renditions of ACDC and Ozzy, in particular. I bet their concerts are a blast.<br /><br />I hope you learn to play violin along with grasshopper!Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.com
