Well, this friday I came to my girl's house. She's not a serious musician (she plays clarinet), but she loves music. She'll sometimes call when I'm practicing and ask me to play for her over the phone. Its funny because no one has ever asked for me to play for them.

So I get to her house friday night and she tells me "play tchaikovsky for me". My teacher just started me with this piece 3 weeks ago, so it's not great yet, but my girl still wanted to hear it. I played, it sucked (the accoustics in her room sucked up all the sound) and I put the violin away. She had a big smile on her face. It was nice to see that even though I didn't play very good it still made someone happy.
