Here’s a good ol’ fashioned head noise post for olde tymes sake:
- Global warming: If global warming continues, the maps of the world will need to be re-drawn. The ice melting and sea level rising will completely change the face of this planet as we know it. Imagine Manhattan and the bottom coasts of India and Florida underwater. Just letting you know… sorry if that’s depressing or if you don’t believe in global warming.
- “God is able to reduce our needs and wants to level out our income so we can lead rich lives.” “God is generous, we should be like Him” (Thanks Ren)
- My e-string is squeaky, so much so, that I don’t even really play it in public…got some Ernie Ball custom gauge 9’s from the new gee-tar center. This is the problem with trying to make a viola be a BIG violin (they don’t make e-strings long enough, so I have to buy guitar strings). I prefer the little local shoppe by my house, but had to see what the hub-bub was about at the supa center on opening weekend. Going to call the violin man to see why my bridge keeps going north and BGV keeps falling out of tune all the time. He’ll probably just tell me it’s because it’s a cheap chinese-made 5 string viola. (and that’s why I love her).
- Played at Bluer again on Saturday. I’m about 10% closer to getting over myself. Still having a little issue with hearing myself once church is full (so I start out quiet and timid).
- Had a dream on Sunday night about the mystical hardingfele…specifically this one after seeing it on the internet with Anna.
In my dream, I was getting ready to play it, the head became evil and it slowly turned to look at me. Then I woke up. More on odd violins. I’ve got to stop sleeping with earplugs, it brings weird dreams.
That’s scary! Maybe you can find an odd violin with a nice, cheerful face on the end. One who smiles (but not an evil smile– a genuine and friendly smile)!
