Well… apparently I’m playing the violin again. 🎻😂
Once upon a time, I was actually pretty darn good... many, MANY moons ago.
Then life happened, the violin went into its case, and a whole lot of years passed.
Recently, the pianist at church found out that I used to play and said, “You should play with me for worship!”
Me: Oh honey. No. We like our congregation. We would like them to come back next Sunday. 😂
But somehow that conversation ended with me pulling out my violin, replacing the strings, buying a new bow, rosin, rest, bridge… and discovering that my brain remembers considerably more than my hands do.
Right now there are moments when I think,
“Oh! I remember this!”
And other moments when I’m fairly certain every cat in Parker is going to kill me. 😳🐈🐈⬛🐈
But I’m trying.
My first goal is a simplel hymn.
I’m marking up my music, relearning where my fingers belong, getting my bow arm back under control, and hoping that somewhere underneath all this rust is the violin player I remember.
Will I eventually play during worship?
We shall see.
Will the congregation survive?
Also to be determined. 😂🎻
