Sitting at moms after upgrading my resume to a more expanded version after attending my first ever professional interview for a REAL job, I discovered all these MP3s of Oistrakh she downloaded for me I never had like: Sarasate's Tarantella with orchestra accompanyment, Mozart concertos, Bach sonatas for violin and harpsichord and many other goodies, what a treat, mom always knows what I like. Im hoping this resume stuff will allow me to get a job that will allow me to afford a real violin one day (Im not concerned with houses or cars, whats wrong with me?). On the ride home, the highway was so slick and lucky me lost control and did a 360 during this curve where I even slowed down! Upon seeing an approaching car coming at me at 60 or more MPH all I can say is I truly saw my life flash before me as I barely got out of the way and resumed cruising speed, someone up there must be watching out for me. Needless to say Im NEVER ever going to get on the highway again with the roads like that!!!

Played sections of solo Bach and segments of Brhams and Bruch concertos for my friends again and they seemd to like it although I played ok not great.

Drinking for the benifit of children?
...where do I sign up?
