HuangKaiVun Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Good. If anybody chooses to post vile stuff about you, starlight_sweetie, just let Administration know with a simple e-mail and remain above the fray. That's my newest approach, and it's working well. Those guys WILL keep this board clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_W Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Now that you're back, S-S, can you tell us something more about your Grandad's Jos. Guarneri? I believe he was about 20 years before del Gesu?--How would you characterize the sound and playing characteristics? Mark_W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost feels like the bow is floating across the strings( corny i admit). It is not crystal clear like a strad, but has almost a sort of muddy tone, but it is still a very beautiful sound. I however do not practice on it. I practice on a student violin, because I believe they are so much harder to get a good tone out of. I believe if I can get a good tone out of a student violin, I can get a good tone out of anything, and so far it has worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainyann Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 I guess the board will be kept clean here, squeaky clean. I see that a couple of posts were deleted here already today. I didn't make the posts but I didn't see that they were overly offensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JANICE Posted March 23, 2001 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2001 I am glad you let us know how you and your mother were doing. She will be in my prayers kiddo! As I said before I know what that illness can do to a family. Hang in there and keep playing. My thoughts are with your mother as she goes through chemo. I say THROUGH as I believe she will come out on the other side! I didn't know about all that other stuff, I didn't need to know it either! I just missed your input and adventures!

starlight_sweetie Posted March 23, 2001 Report Share Posted March 23, 2001 Thank so much Janice for the kind words, and optomistic outlook. I certainly hope my mother makes it through this, and I believe she will. I will tell her that there are people out there praying for her.

Are you refering to people who are nice to you too? Or only to people who are "bad thought and speech" people, as they as they are (maybe) not thinking about "you" anyway?

I am talking about the people who do not like me staylor, and since you have been so nice to me through this don't worry its not directed to you.

administrator Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 Starlight, I dont believe I have read your posts (before today), but I will say a prayer for your Mom too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stringhappy Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 I second the prayers for Starlight_sweetie's mom. I believed you all along, Starlight_sweetie. I always just assumed that you must be an exceptionally prodigious player, and that explains many things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Fine Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 Welcome back Starlight_Sweetie... I must have been away when the arguments over your instrument/teaching/playing were going on, because I don't really remember them... just remember, as many people who don't believe you on this board, there are just as many who do (at least I'm always inclined to believe what established posters tell me). Anyway... it's nice to see you back (it'd be even nicer if Toasty would show up too). Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasty Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 I wuz here all the time, '!' but not in all the threads. There are so many threads that it takes a long time to load and read them all so I tend to read titles I like. This is a great site and together with Shar Catalogue in the Mail I am becomming quite an expert on some areas of Fildding. BTW The last Shar Catalogue is real nice and has some great pictures. I like the layout and ease of finding things - lots of stuff I did not even know existed, like a Rest for a Fiddle LOL, I need one of those for me ....

It doesn't usually take me too long before I read a thread which has my name in the heading! It even proved sufficient to ressurect S_S, long before you finally decided it might prove interesting!
