makeABC Report post Posted April 20, 2014 I started reading Karl Roy's The Violin Its History and Making. The book has a historical overview with pictures of instruments. What I found amazing are the paintings of angels playing violins. Paintings from different ages and places on earth. Music made in heaven. Violins made in heaven. Apostle Paul has heard music when he ascended to the third heaven. I think that all of us reading this forum could say a prayer tonight before going to bed. What should we pray for? Should we ask God to send us an angel with the plans of his heavenly violin? Maybe not. Maybe the plans were already given to Stradivari long long time ago... Any prayer should do good.

Christopher Jacoby Report post Posted April 20, 2014 I saw a painting of an angel playing a flying V guitar at a thrift store last week. Shredding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeyerFittings Report post Posted April 21, 2014 Here's a couple of my faves. No wings on the first angel and the second one is pretty devilish if you ask me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill Yacey Report post Posted April 21, 2014 Probably better that we never experience the perfect violin here. It gives us something to look forward to in the after-life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
