Give unto thee - for the love of someone who is a part of me ...

I have always loved musical instruments and wondered at how science and math can touch us deep down even with all its technicality intact.

let me admit, that i have tried some musical instruments and none of them call to me and likewise. Violin was never on my mind, not for any particular reason, however, by some strange co incidence or signal i knew that , i was meant to learn just her - my violin.

Lesson 1 : unlike vocal artists, the ones who pursue musical instruments have to first learn to give their body to the instrument. the journey to the soul is an advanced stage. take any instrument: the flute, the drums, the guitar and the violin - your body has to get used to it - the posture, the co ordination, the strain... as far as the violin is concerned.. its takes time to give in...

once you get those basics right, usually on the same day, you learn the GDae [the chords/strings - don't know the difference yet, if there is one]. you learn how the bow glides, the arch, the straight line, the equilibrium, the pressure points... you learn how to caress it and you have to learn to know them well otherwise, she will never give in.. some woman she is !

you should take an entire week to know your woman at this stage. know which part of her body is called what, how she likes to be touched... small talk everyday for about fifteen twenty minutes and as you profess your love to her, she will profess hers...

Until next week..
