August Rush

March 13, 2008 at 11:34 PM

I just finished watching August Rush. And despite what people say I love the movie. Beautiful cello playing, beautiful Rapsody (how do you spell that?), and the New York Philharmonic (is that really them?) Some people have told me that I could be a musical prodigey just because of the number of instruments that I play but I don't think so if you could compare me with the kid (if there was really a kid like that; I'm sure there are). I wish I could go to Juliard but I know that I'm not that good. Maybe some day I'll be very good. Anyways I just wanted to say this in my blog. I want a grand piano, if you would like to donate then please e-mail me. Just joking, kind of.

What this has to do with the violin you may ask. I'll tell you. When they show the cellist she is holding a little girls hand while humming Fur Elise. The little girl has a violin case in her hand that's good enough for me.
