Dharma & Greg S02E13 Part 1

Season 2, Ep 13: Death and Violins

Edward's mother Beatrice is dying and knows it, despite the efforts of everyone around her to deny the fact except Dharma, who argues for honesty and gets a priceless Stradivarius as a keepsake, much to the horror of Kitty who believes it belongs in a museum -- especially after everyone has heard Dharma trying to learn "Three Blind Mice" on the instrument. Then Dharma learns something very surprising: Edward and Kitty's marriage was a whirlwind courtship bitterly opposed by Beatrice, who has never forgiven her "free-thinking" daughter-in-law and refuses to pass on the family heirloom engagement ring to her. Dharma tries to help mend fences before it's too late -- then tries to respect Beatrice's dying wish to pass on the ring when it is much, much too late. In a coda, Greg is more than happy to let Dharma's violin teacher borrow the Strad for a recital, then learns Dharma has taken up the trombone instead.

I played violin for twelve years, and yeah, you pretty much do need lessons to play. No instrument is easy, but violin without technique is practically impossible.

Reminds me of my favorite short story:

"It's very hard to live downstairs from a man learning to play the violin." That's what she said when she handed the detective the revolver. - R Braudigan

The teacher's reaction when she finds out she's holding a violin ... priceless!

Please -- I'm dying. I should be chain smoking cigarettes wrapped in bacon.

I am suddenly reminded very vividly of my cousins when they first started playing... Although they had a much more mouse-like squeaky-ness about their playing. I am so grateful that they have improved in the last 15 years!!

@LittleVegas Well, the point is that you figure out/create/develop the technique that speaks best to your heart and brain.
