Nothing to do with the guys in the photo though. Only little me. as ever. Time ticks by as I wait for a violin valuation to take place. It&#8217;s quite exciting like Schrodinger&#8217;s Violin as at present it&#8217;s both priceless and unique but also old and little more than a curio.  I think its unique and wonderful of course but I could do with a few bob extra to be frank or anyone else come to that.  The Violin on the track I just posted is of course my electric violin.<br><br>Still possibly the most important message of all time:<br><br>\u201c<strong>Love your neighbour as yourself.\u201d<\/strong><br><br>or maybe at least try to get halfway there? <br><br><strong>John 13:34<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;<em><strong>&#8220;A new command I give you: Love one another.

And sometimes to know you are not alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this also is sound philosophically: Now I am not a believer,  but who knows and I like the sentiment of these words.  I had a friend who was a preacher who lost faith and found it again.  Redemption?
