Violin Valentines

Well, the short one goes like this:

I was part of a traveling choir group whilst in high school. Every Christmas, we would perform at a local dinner club, and before the choir sang, the few of us that played instruments would play for ~10-15 min each. There was a very cute guy that sang tenor, and his favorite Christmas hymn was "O Holy Night." Since all of the music performed was piped into the choir's warm-up room, I chose that song as my "finale" for my set. When I got back to the warm-up room, I was greeted by a big smile, and a kiss on the cheek!

The long one is this:

I went to the University of Notre Dame for college. Every dorm there has a Mass on Sunday evening. I had never been able to "get into" the Masses in my dorm, as I didn't particularly care for the priests that rotated through. At the beginning of my junior year, a friend at a men's dorm asked if I could play one Sunday, and I agreed. I liked the people I met there, and the two priests that lived in the dorm, so I opted to come back. When I did, there was another guitarist added to the ensemble. He was a freshman, and I had to chuckle to myself when he asked me the typical "freshman five" questions: Where was I from, what dorm did I live in, what was my major, etc. (This, by the way, is a ND freshman guy's way of telling you he's interested - strange but true!) I flirted with him on and off, but as he was 2 years younger, didn't really think of it that seriously until that Valentine's Day weekend. That Sunday, I set my case down as usual, and went to get a drink of water. When I came back into the chapel, there was a little bag of candy wrapped up in Valentine's-y paper sitting on my case! After that I took him a little more seriously for the next two years!

(By the way, I wish I could say that everything was peachy after that, but in fact we dated only on and off - but that doesn't make much of a romantic story, and that's what makes it so loooong of a story for me!)

Hope all of you enjoy Valentine’s Day! Feel free to download some of the free sheet music from our links on the violin home page and make a music booklet. Put a red cover on it, and give it to your Valentine!
