I have never been musical other than loving to listen. My daughter in law Lisa is though. She plays the violin and has since she was 5 or 6. She is amazing and my grandaughter Alexandra,who is their oldest has been learning since she was three. Lisa has her going to a professional teacher now, and Lex is doing great. I am so impressed with all that you have accomplished so far, you really must have a stong drive.

We have not been able to afford one, and now, nearly 13 years later, I just don't think I have it left in me. I was never very good at it. My parents could not afford to get me private lessons, and I was not dedicated to practicing. It is one of my big regrets in life. I will never get it back.Heffalumphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13166154112206680302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253176626122191419.post-44919268461548742622008-10-08T21:54:00.000-04:002008-10-08T21:54:00.000-04:00I think it's wonderful you have persued your m...I think it's wonderful you have persued your musical dreams.

I've never heard that kind of music. I am also playing the violin with my girls and find it challenging compared to the piano. I can read the notes, but I don't sound very good. I probably should take lessons myself. Right now I have 12 piano students. I love it but it is too many.Monica Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253176626122191419.post-605104911686192732008-10-09T12:10:00.000-04:002008-10-09T12:10:00.000-04:00You've had another picture recently where I no...You've had another picture recently where I noticed the reflection of your shiny table or counter.
