Reply #41: I listened to them.....

I thought maybe the acoustics were bad. Gosh, Josh, that was the funniest thing I ever read-esp the part about taking the taxi to the station for the sake of the violin. Hubby said he knew it was life long true love married forever when we were on our honeymoon. I had his sitar and moved to get out of the way of a crazy driver. I stumbled and took a hard fall at a very awkward angle. Hubby ask if I was alright. Don't worry about me-how's the sitar I asked. I had fallen in a way to protect the instrument. He said that's when he knew he had married well.

When my daughter and I went to pick up her handmade Italian oboe, we were involved in a front end fender bender. My daughter had just opened the case and took it out as the crash happened. Her first words to me were 'Thank God-the oboe is not hurt'. No greater love hath a musician than to lay down his life for his instrument. THAT is the hallmark of a REAL musician.

I am amazed at the sound-you can tell that instrument is something special. Oh and the guy plays ok too. :spray:
