We need updates on the violin.

If you friend me on Facebook, I have a page dedicated to my progress. This way if any one is curious they can take a peek.

For right now I am building my next two bodies, a Nicolo Amati and a Guarneri del Gesu. The pictures are similar to my strad and I did not want to post the same steps over again as it might appear redundant and I did not want to cause any issues. If you do not have Facebook and don't mind similar pictures, I'll be happy to also post here.

In the beginning...

"Two wrongs, don't make a right but three rights, make a left" - Gallagher

“If I could be for only an hour, If I could be for an hour every day, If I could be for just one little hour, Cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way” - Jacques Brel

"I am a simple man, And I play a simple tune, Wish that I could see you once again, Across the room, Like the first time" - Graham Nash

Have a superb day, sir! Your trimmings from the violins really do look like hamster bedding. You should have Ethan bag it up and sell it.

	We look at the outside clues that people show and make up stories. The stories are just stories. Interconnected. Making up stories is what human beings do. But, if we are wise, we can slow down, remember stories and learn.
