City Kid Converted

Mike; I'll bet he's the 2nd one down with Jim as his first name? /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Sounds like you like this kid. Nothing wrong with that! Did you get chills listening? Live and personnal performances do that to me. Especially bagpipes. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

John he is a nice kid and what's more important is my daughter likes him too. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You're right I got chills listening to Jim play, and it was easy to see that it was a passion of his that he was dead serious about.

You are going to have to change the name of the thread. Sounds like someone else got converted. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I would have to hear him play some Charlie Daniels before i passed judgement on his playing. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Make sure you show him the backhoe. Go over the specifications of it, how it works and ask him which part of the yard he wants to be burried in if he ever hurts your daughter. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I don't think the kid's converted until he starts calling his instrument a fiddle.

The backhoe idea sounds good. I dread the day my little girl starts courting.

BTW: What's the difference between a violin and a fiddle anyway?

DannyD · Mar 21, 2005

the music that comes from it.

violin, soft and orchestatic ?

fiddle, you can not hold your feet still.

Oh and on the daughter, not that bad, mine moved out of here and in with the bf last year. she is still welcome here but I love the empty nest syndrome we have. Our kids were 7 and 10 when I met my wife, so we never had an empty house.

I still think he needs some dirt on him.

Mike, my daughter is also a violinist. I'd suggest you have Jim check ebay next time he needs a new one, my daughter's set me back $69 plus shipping. But then again, she is only 10. Usually sounds like she is declawing a cat with a pair of pliers when she plays, but every once in a while some good music comes out of that thing! I'm hoping she keeps getting better, but I have looked at the prices of the better "student" grade violins and even the cheap ones will set you back the price of a decent used car!

As for the son-in-law thing, I just make a habit of cleaning guns when boys come around. I figure if they are scared of me when they are 10 then they might not come around later. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
