The coming of the real savior.

 This story will sound hard to believe, but it is true - I have thoroughly researched it. It starts around a man named Stan Tiation, who was known in his time as 'train sub Stan Tiation' because his job was to fill in for train drivers who were unavailable, due to sickness or other reasons. 

Stan Tiation

Stan grew up in Foxton which, in those days (well, a little later really), was known as New Zealand's own fox town.  There he married a lady named Betty and in 1952 they had a son who they named Stay, mainly because it seemed to fit in nicely with his surname, Tiation. The unusual thing was that Stan knew he had not contributed to Betty's pregnancy, due to various reasons. Betty told him that it was a virgin birth that was helped out by a god she had been praying to. What could Stan do but accept her story?  

Naturally Stan was curious about this god. Betty told him that, in time, many people would turn to this god and that his son was really the son of God. She told him that this god was known as Pen15 and that he was the one really responsible for the existence of all humans. He had even written a book called 'It's All In Here'. Later he had renamed it, for simplicity, The Inere.

Stay was born in a sheep shed. As he grew up, he felt a deep sense to preach about his actual father, Pen15, and decided to move to a more populated place. He moved to Taihape.

To be continued.


You might notice that the picture of my violin looks a bit different. I have new strings, that have been on for a while now, and I've gone back to my old chin rest because I think I need my violin pointing more to the left. The strings are called Pirastro Violino and I'm happy with them. 

Hey, you're lucky because you got two posts today.

Just one more hour of my three hours of violin practice to go.

Sii gentile.

Very good ... hey! That comment about your violin chin rest reminds me of this old joke for some reason:

A woman lost her dog (named Titswobble) and asked around if anyone had seen it.

"Have you seen my Titswobble?" She asked the postman who answered -
"No Ma'am but I'd sure like to."
