I've thought about how women wrap their legs around the instrument and I find it somewhat erotic. I like it better to see a woman cello player that a male.<br /><br />Drusilla -- I bet I can still play the song as good as I did as a child--not very.<br /><br />StMc --I switched over from violin to guitar when I was taking lessons from the dwarf--he played guitar too. I didn't learn any rock and roll and just songs like "Bingo" so I lost interest after a while. But I do wish I'd pursue the music. I'd love to be playing music now.<br /><br />Lynda -- There have been many excellent jazz and rock violinists. I wish I would have been one of them.<br /><br />Lee<br /><br /><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-37778896010291522172014-04-11T19:54:08.441-07:002014-04-11T19:54:08.441-07:00What a fascinating life you've led!

I like violin music in any form, and one of my favorite violinists was Stéphane Grappelli, especially his recordings with Django Reinhardt.Lynda Dietzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442214431341019380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889973587380183147.post-66957823838326567772014-04-11T08:49:18.638-07:002014-04-11T08:49:18.638-07:00When we moved from Orange County to Santa Monica, ...When we moved from Orange County to Santa Monica, I was going into the 5th grade and our school had an orchestra. I wanted to play saxophone but they didn't have a saxophone in the orchestra, so I wound up playing the acoustic bass, which was taller than I was.<br /><br />Years later, when I started to become somewhat interested in contemporary popular music, I took guitar lessons.<br /><br />My guitar teacher was extremely stern and he didn't seem to understand that my fingers REALLY WEREN'T long enough to hit all the frets to form some of the necessary chords.<br /><br />He eventually killed off my interest in playing and I came to absolutely DREAD the guitar lessons. So, finally, my parents said I could quit.<br /><br />Looking back on it all these decades later, I realize that it was probably my biggest mistake in life. I was MEANT to be a musician! I just needed a better, more understanding, more patient teacher.<br /><br />Oh well... next lifetime for sure!<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

Like I was so feminine. lol I begged and pleaded throughout elementary school and high school and was refused. I then asked to take cello and was told that it doesn't look nice to have my legs spread to accomodate the cello. Then I got in college and thoughts of taking music lessons went by the wayside. I did take a couple banjo lessons in the 90s but it was too hard to learn to read music and after a full day of work and commuting the last thing I wanted to do was practice.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.com
