I was looking at my Subject to change booklet and found something weird ... There a no credits listed listed for song number 12 (jamais). Any idea who wrote it ? Its a kindda "to the point" breakup song in french. I took the liberty of translating it for those of you who dont speak the onl...

Oh my god ... what the #### is that ?

This look like it was written by a 10 year old ! Wow , what a literary style ... or lack there of ... Tcontent of all 24 pages could fit on a single page.

I cant belive that thing was publised ... and By the Oxford Univerity press none the less. ROFLMAO

I will (as soon as i get the Chance) visit my local music shop to see what they can do for me. I dont know how it is in England , but if its anything like music shops in Canada ... Don't .... You should find a luthier or shop specialized for violins, you will get better price and better quality ins...

Could you define cheap ? (price range) What are you looking for ? (Electrical, Classical, Baroque , Amplified ...) In Canada you can get a decent entry level electrical violin for about 700$ Fender and Yamaha are I think the best choices in that cathegory. Altought you might not want to keep the ori...

Well nhammer ...I ve been playing for less then a year. I picked it up after loosing my job due to the dot com flop. Since i am financially secure I decided to take a sabatical.

Yes, I do play the violin ... VM got me interested to this instrument with "Violin Player"... which in turn got me interested into classical music. She was the starting point of a major change in my musical taste. Right now i m learning Devil's Trill Sonata even with the protest of my teac...

If ya wanna check out Menuhin i can send ya the Violin Concerto No.2 in B minor Rondo (La Campanella) ... its a 1961 recording so there is some background noise, but his playing is worth it... His Saint-Saens stuff is also pretty neat... As well as some stuff by Elgar and Bartok which where composed...

LOL ... i just had an event like that myslef... I got my hands on some recording of the 4 seasons by Yehudi Menuhin (the best violin player of the 20th century) and was utterly desapointed. Kept expeting some attacks, transition , vibratto .. .... .... that never came... To the point i had to stop l...

Thanx man ... another thing to add to my "to buy" list , and its next on my "to learn" list , well ... as soon as i m done batteling with the devil's trill sonata.

Anyways, here is a link to the online site of that store. archa...

That us good news indeed ...

If the next album is indeed set to go out this year we should be fixed soon ...

BTW , anyone has any new info on whats going on with the autobiography ???

Well , from that standing point it is indeed very likely that EMI will try to squeeze as mutch cash out of her as possible. I do hope that she still has some clause in her contract that might allow her to prevent them from over exploiting songs she has recorded under their lable. That might tarnish ...

I think that would be a terrible idea for EMI to do that. One of the thing I dont like about VM albums is that the very same material come on many different CD's, I must have 4 or 5 time the same version of devel's trill, destiny, white bird, happy valey ... ... ... ... I do belive that at this poin...
