I take it you never tried to learn to play de fiddle. As has been mentioned Fiddlin' Ain't easy and as Twinkle Star is one of the first lessons it's also painful.

I get you now lol

Sorry for the misunderstanding :S

If there was a nation wide catastrophic disaster,would you accept help or charity from the church ?

Such as food & shelter etc

That's if they were you and your families only hope.

Or would your non beliefs and resentment get in the way...

So, when the media mentions 'fiddlin' with children, they were actually giving them violin lessons?
I was thinking more along the lines of a tromBONE. Boy is my face red.

Possibly in those fancy 10,000 a year schools - horns of any description are expensive, hard to play and require a lot of wind.

In my brief sojourn at a convent school the Nuns insisted I learn fiddlin - I wanted to learn the cello. :mad:

The Brothers made my brother learn the triangle - make of that what you will

Not to mention it takes ages to get beyond Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - although after a week of hearing myself squeeeeek through that again and I'd beat myself to death with a rock so the church could take their charity and shove it.

Thanks for that wonderful memory, I'm pretty sure it was heavily repressed until your post.

The noise won't leave my ears now, it's like a dying cat, a rusty dying cat.

Hail, fellow veteran.

The flashbacks are indeed mighty cruel.

If you weren't a girl - you could have gotten to play that most magical of instrument.

Those magic bells the chosen altar boy rings to let us know transubstantiation has occurred... (unless you're an Irish catholic and think none of that's real).

Brother was an alter boy so he got the triangle and the magic bells. :mad:

I remember the day he got his regulation mini cassock and doily surcoat. He showed it to me proudly and told me he would be helping the priest. I announced that I wanted to do that too (cassock envy) only to be told ,with all the serious maturity of his 10 years, that I couldn't because I was a girl. So my 5 year old self went whirling dervish on his ass....

The echos of the he said/she hit me duet tantrum scored for outrage that followed still resound around my mother's house.

Happy days.

Anybody else disappointed this thread wasn't called "Danger Zone"?:o
I know it mightn't have conveyed the OPs query as much, but damn, opportunity missed in my opinion.

I play the cello :cool:


I suppose the nuns had a lot more experience with fiddling than with spreading their legs

Cello is sexy.

They had cello classes too but I was ordered to fiddle...apparently only the chosen few got the feel the vibrato between their legs.

Last time I seen a cello was on a tube in London,the next thing it moved and turned into a woman
