Holemaster; Aw, have an aul’ bash at Fur Elise sometime for me will ya? It’s a cliche, but I don’t care, the middle bit is deadlee.

Warrior; I have to be masochistic, sure nobody else but me can do that. Welcome home :)

J; I hated the recorder… I shudder every time I hear the Glenroe theme tune! Thirty violins, you could use that as a backtrack to a horror flick – I know that sound.

Fat Sparrow; Try the guitar, big fat middle ground. Also easier to bring to parties than a piano, as me da would say.

Vicky; I hear they’ve a wicked Karaoke night down th’ Old Bray inn ;-p

Baino; I’ll swap you a Didgeridoo for a Banjo so, we can learn them and play duets over Skype!

Jo; Wow, really?? That is my all time favourite thing to play, really mellow. Did you play??

At least you stuck with it enough to pick up the old girl again and pluck a few notes. I gave up on Piano when I was 11, stupidest thing I ever did. I haven’t got the inclination or discepline to learn any more.

Good on you! I always wanted to learn violin but my mother made me take piano lessons instead, and also I have no musical talent whatsoever.

I always wanted to play an instrument. I think I would have chosen the flute. But at my school, you could only move on to the ‘real’ instruments if you were good enough at the recorder… and that I most certainly was not.

In recent years, I’ve been seriously disturbed by violins. I used to work in a school where the whole class would learn the violin at the same time. Imagine that! Thirty badly played violins in an echoey hall. *Shudders*.

Any reason you are so damn hard on yourself or are you just masochistic for fun…( I hate when you make me spell big words).
Stop moaning, I am betting I see you in Grafton street when I am home next week :-)

Well done. I have a piano behind me right now, staring at me, waiting for me to sit back on that stool again and to warm my fingers and gently start into Carmen.

I got off the train at grade six too.
