#violin

I was trained by Method acting teachers and we were taught that aside from whatever gift you may or may not have or the level of that gift, that you were obliged to know how to build a table. It's a craft. It's like being a ballerina or a violinist. ↗

I've played every instrument you could possibly think of for 10 minutes. So I'm mediocre at everything. I can play drums, guitar, piano, violin, saxophone, clarinet, flute... Just not well. ↗

To me, there is nothing better than me going into the studio with a live band and hearing those violins and that echo and that sound. I mean I loved it. ↗

I basically started playing violin at the age of six. That lasted about three years because my previous teacher died and the second teacher didn't really know how to successfully get me going. ↗

I often play on the cello-bass side of the orchestra, because I prefer the deep sounds. I can't hear the violins well. ↗
