Lucky me...

I have two very sweet and special students, a brother and sister, that I give lessons to every Sunday.  He is learning the guitar and she is learning the violin.  Both have a great sense of humor, fun personalities and plenty of musical talent.

When they came for lessons this past weekend, they brought me this belated Christmas present, made by their own hands.  It is a beautiful and luxuriously soft fleece blanket with musical symbols.

All of my students continually overwhelm me and this was no exception.  I count myself as one of the luckiest people in the world to know each and every one of my students!

Do the Wav!

The Snarling Fiddler

A fun trip to the local music store this week resulted in a score!  Here's a pic of me trying out the new NS Wav electric violin.  This particular model was the 5-stringer in the amber burst finish.

The fiddle is oddly shaped but played like "butta."  After about a half hour of playing around, I ordered the 4-string version in red burst.  It will be delivered in about a week or so.
