i started taking violin lessons in april. anyone who plays violin knows that when you first start playing, you sound HORRIBLE (until you get used to how to move the bow). have you seen the movie 'Psycho' by alfred hitchcock? remember the shower scene where she is getting killed? you know the music in the background..."eee, eee, eee"? one time, i think it was the first week i had started playing violin, i was practicing and i swear that's what i sounded like - just like the shower scene. after a while i got tired of hearing myself (that's how bad i sounded). so i stopped practicing and i went downstairs to the family room, where my mom was sitting. as soon as she saw me, she said, "WHAT was that HEAVENLY musicccc??" AND SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT MY VIOLIN PLAYING!!!
oh, motherly love...
wouldn't it be nice if everyone saw you like your mom did?
