Thank you for your encourgement Unicorn, I adore the violin too especially pieces by Bach , Vivaldi and Brahms.
But I am not up to that level yet by a long way.
I do value my lessons and hope one day I will be good enough for the local amatuer orchestra. Got to have a goal eh !

Not a clue.
I've been trying to learn quickly and, so far, all the helpful hints have been followed sucessfully.

How wonderful and hopeful it is that you took Our Holy Father's encyclical on HOPE, and made it your moniker for participation on His Holiness' forum!

Great anticipation in hearing some of your thoughts....

Hi,
I am also glad to be able to join in with new members.
Though I am not so new at computer tech, I was self taught, and I am sure jaitchison will quickly get the hang of things.
No need to feel shy as you are with likeminded people here.

It is never to late to learn, I enjoy the challenge , especially since I have started violin lessons. which I enjoy immensely.


God Bless

There is a bit of everything ... Great memories and less great ones. Sweet and sour ... it's the same everywhere and for all of us.

It was always a bit reassuring to know that there was another person at this forum who also lived in the "Great White North"! However, as someone who has also lived in other countries on different continents, I fully understand that tug of the heart and the longing for home.
