...and this leads me on to a few short related memories about VIOLINS:

I had always wanted to learn how to use one but been denied, as a child.....


Most girls in 4U had been given one and taught how to use it.

Before being in 4U, I had been at the PARIS SCHOOL and learnt how to use one expertly - we all could.

you see - the violin is one of the easiest instruments to learn....really, really easy....it is a small STRINGED INSTRUMENT and for 'little hands' it is a 'doddle' if you have the intelligence and the ear for music...

The GUITAR is a lot harder...much harder to learn...for a start off, you have to have hands big enough...fingers long enough to control the strings and instrument...

Any ADULT guitarist who picks up a VIOLIN...could 'master it' almost immediately....you simply use a BOW rather than a HAND....although I can remember JOHN VARRO picking one up and saying that he was 'useless' with it...i wonder why...

yet in WESTERN culture...a violin is seen to be some sort of epitome of 'classical music' and I am not sure why....

Anyway, I then had a flashback to the TEMPLAR CASTLE...JADE could play the violin like a 'mechanical bird'...set songs/pieces...and so could i but I wasn't interested in them....i wanted to 'create my own music'....and I did....then GILL walked in...he was 'interested'....as he always was...his young alter and mine, were always 'interested' in each other...I 'tried something new' and he was 'in on it' in a second....

...and now I can remember...that PARIS SCHOOL....it was all horror...after having been educated to play the violin perfectly....we were thrown on the floor, upon our fronts...the ill cult programmers then took a 'saw' to our backs....a blunt one but it hurt...sawing over the SOLAR PLEXUS and KIDNEYS...telling us that we were their VIOLINS that they 'played'...every note and every string....


The strings - were apparently from our heads down to our coccyx....down the SPINAL COLUMN....and the ill controlled us with their BOW across the SOLAR PLEXUS of our backs....

...we were only 8 years old or a few years older (an elementary/secondary school)...and even worse...I was put into a 'toddler alter' for the entire duration (presumably because I wasn't trustworthy in an 8 year old alter or anything older than 'toddler')....
