Why do I write blog posts?

 Well, on my last post, an old reader said,

"Oh dear. No comments so far. For you that must be devastating."

Actually, that is not the case. I write posts because I like writing. I actually started writing posts on Richard's Bass Bag* before the other two bloggers around here showed up. I've now been updating this blog for around nineteen years.
I'll be honest, I don't really give two shits what those two old blokes think about what I write. Remember too that I do visit the bathroom quite frequently.


So, two shits can happen in quite a short time.

Okay, I know that my last post contained a paragraph about violin fingering. That would have been heavy going for either of my two old readers. For me the joy came from expressing what I think could really help my students become better violinists.

The next paragraph would contain things that I find very interesting, but I won't expose them here. I'll save them for next time I visit a zoo. I think I'd get a better audience there.



So long.

Was that double bathroom visit related to the earthquake I felt?

Look, I'm a musician and I can confidently say that I'm not as bad as I sound.

There's something to think about, if you ever get interested in violin scale fingering.

Does anyone know what it means?

Robert should find an answer on AI.

They obviously didn't teach this in 3P in 1966. Peter's culpa.

Don't worry. Most Classical violinists wouldn't understand it either.

The Vandals had a great song called ‘Flowers are Pretty’.
You should listen to it.
