Cello Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Hello, I am Kurt Youngblood. I am 18. I play the cello and have for a little more than 4 years now. Most people looking to be musicians have been playing since they were 3 - I started when I was turning 14. I cannot find words to say how much I love it. Sometimes I just sit and look at my cello and think, "In ten seconds I could be making some of the most beautiful sounds known to man." I usually sit for awhile just like that, smiling. I read Atlas Shrugged less than year ago, after it fell out of a box of books I was carrying for my teacher. My first thought was, "Damn, nice title!" Then I picked it up and my second thought was, "Damn, this is heavy!" When I read Galt's speech, I was spellbound and quit reading for a few weeks. That book changed the course of my life. But I guess you all know about that. This summer I'm going to study in Canada with a cellist who is a great teacher and one demanding woman. I can't wait. I am somewhat of a hermit, though without the beard, bad posture, and the cave. I guess I'm solitary by nature. I have read chunks of lots of Ayn Rand's works, and I'm learning more every day. I'm here to learn even more. Thanks for having me. Edited May 25, 2009 by Cello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
