Yeah...I need to enter negotiations with Mother before I buy a violin
All together now, "You didn't want to play when we bought you that lovely 1/2 size all those years ago...gave it up after we spent all that money...Mary was devastated...said you had real talent...you could've been great you know..." etc etc
i've still got mine, in my bedroom at home. i know, me too, stupid thing is i didn't even WANT to quit, my asshole teacher used to pick on me relentlessly, that's why i quit!
