amidst a gray and foggy week here, i feel like a little ray of sunshine :)
it's just been one of those good weeks, i guess. made better today because i got my violin out and just played {after months} it felt so good! the bruch g minor- just like riding a bike {a rusty, slightly pitchy bike, but a bike none the less!}
so, dear friends, i think it's time you met my wonderful companion:
his name is leonardo. and if you don't already know this, it's pretty normal for people to name their instruments- my sister once named her cello after a favorite uncle, and a young student of mine once named his violin "frank" and his bow "stein". {get it? frank and stein. so cute.}
i, on the other hand, chose leonardo- part ninja turtle {to kick some musical ass!} and part renaissance artist {fitting, i think}
and just in case you wanted to see it as well, here's the photo in the background that i always carry in my case:
{my sister and i in italy, 2002}
it always brings me a little sunshine on cloudy days.

I could go for some pitchy violin right about now. How old do you have to be before you can start learning one of those things?

ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to play an instrument as lovely as Leonardo. All I can do is sing.
ReplyDelete"Frank and Stein" -- very cute.
You visited my site in December and I'm finally getting a chance to return the comment favor. I name my cars! The minivan is Mulder. Because it's a brooding, cool color and I loved X Files. The name helps keep the m-van cool. :)
ReplyDeleteI've played the piano my whole life and hope one of my girls picks up the violin so we can duet.
P.S. - that bra post is coming up soon! I'm putting together the little video for it. :)
