Last week we had the “tagged U”-challenge, so this week we’ll create a new turn with “V” – I’m sure you’ll also find a photo, a story or a music title tagged with “V”! Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “V”!!! Myself I’ll focus on “violin”:
Vestdijk’s VIOLIN
I’m very happy that a violinist from The Netherlands, Dick VESTDIJK = Oorlab, added his talent to one of my tracks of my Gypsy swing project GITANE FRITS:

My friend Andrey Shilov commented: The title of the composition is “Dorogoy dlinnoyu” which means “By a long road…” or the English version is “Those were the days”. The author of the music is Boris Fomin – a great musician who was hated by Stalinists.

yes, I’ll make an end after Z (already scheduled): I hope we still stay in contact, commenting our other posts! (Often about music, I believe, that’s the last isle I will retire to, after leaving writing, politics, philosophy, photography…)

I decided to speak about music on sunday with my articles on my musical website. But you can comment my drawings, cartoons, pictures from good photographer (so, not me :p) and post on foreign policy, as the one on Ukraine today. I hope to have time to listen to all the music I want

Vulnerability is a bridge to get wiser, your life line is one example, Isadora, maybe my fate too (starting my life in an orphanage). Your husband (after that sad attack of violence vs. him) can be glad to have you!

hi Sue,
great wall paintings with an unbelievable blue! I hope no suburban graffiti sprayers once will find this treasure inspired to make some signs – but maybe they would learn how to paint better?

I could take this as a gravestone script for

Oh dear, I too know many suicidees… I guess we have to have a sense of humour about things the farther in we get! You might like Edward Gorey…
