Lucies gran used to tell us the most hillarious stories, they would last forever because she would go off on tangents and end up telling us a completely different story before getting back to her original one. One of our favourites was about when she was about 9 or 10 she used to have violin lessons, she was never very good because she didnt practice and just wiggled her fingers around until she got the right notes. She used to go for lessons at someones house which had a dance studio on the floor above the music room. She said that it was hard trying to play violin when there was a herd of young elephants dancing around above your head!

She died last year and when Lucies mum was sorting out the house she found the old violin that gran used to play. it didnt have any strings or tuning pegs or even a fingerboard, it was just a shell. She asked if we could get it restored but we decided that it was not worth it so we have put it up on our wall instead! Anyway when we got the violin I thought that the symbolism and story behind this would make a good song so I wrote one!

It went through about a dozen variations before settling on this one, with a strong nod to the music of C.W.Stoneking.

enjoy!
