Hey, Alessandro Stradivari! This for you! I hear your wife and Master Amati are making the Beast With Two Backs. Maybe you get a son with some talent, eh?
The more I look at this picture the more I like it. His gesture was often used in the cultures that surrounded me when I was growing up….more so than the single finger. What better way to silently say “Up Yours!”…..and with a grin from ear to ear!
“ Finalmente! ” Giacomo shouted. “Finally, Kevin McCave-in got himself elected House Mouth, and the Mouth of the South, Dallas, lost! Che fine settimana fantastico!”

/// He’s decided that he cannot play
where the quartet’s appearing today.
He’d played first violin
in Madrid and Berlin,
but tonight’s venue isn’t OK.
/// Violinist laughs— tries to explain:
“I can’t bow ‘cause my wrist has a sprain.”
He’s not really in pain,
but, in Moscow? Insane,
to wear colors supporting Ukraine!

Cecil kept time by taking his pulse every few minutes. That wasn’t the problem though. The problem was that he could only play songs at 72 BPM.

/// Violin fans were sad and dismayed
by the way this musician’s portrayed.
There were wrong notes and gaffes
‘cause he played it for laughs.
Can’t play classical; he’s David Spade.
