It's funny, I've never played violin or fiddle and yet, as of late, I've been giving serious thought to buying a violin. Sounds stupid to buy one if I don't play but, if you want to learn, you have to have one to learn on. It's crazy, I don't know shit about playing a violin, I've never even attempted it. I think I held a violin in my hands once--that's about it. I know nothing about the bow or rosin or technique or jack. But I sure would love to get one and I sure would love to learn to play one. And I know where to get one--actually, I can get my pick of them. And the fact that I can get one and they're easily affordable and I'm itching to learn to play one is making it really hard for me to resist.
