Lefty and his Work with Frog Hair

lefty Unplugged plays every Monday at Cat's Art MusikCircus and his set has been different in recent weeks.  Previously he would sometimes do improvs in his show in which there was no telling what he would play but they would invariably be excellent.  He has been more focused lately on polishing his existing songs and that is working beautifully but what happened to the improv.

In lefty's blog you can read about his struggles with learning to play a violin, his 'secret' weapon.  It's not really secret as he has even put videos on Facebook about it.  When it's also on his blog, it's safe that it isn't a secret anymore.  (lefty' Blog:  Diary of a 55yr old left handed violin beginner part5)

Yep, it looks like lefty's soul has been stolen by a violin.

(Ed:  what about the frog hair?)

the more you play, the more you respect string players for precision fine as frog hair! 

Read the whole article to really get the feel of it.


lefty's respect for the difficulty of learning violin has gone up tremendously as he knew it would be difficult but not this difficult.  It's only half facetious that I wonder if the violin has stolen lefty's soul as he would never have learned how to play guitar as he does without being determined.  It really does look like this woman has taken him and you can see from the article that she owns him.

The article was written three weeks ago so I don't know how things go this minute but I suspect that secret weapon will show up in lefty's show one of these days.
