Top of the Day to you hh - Hi. As I love music I turned to this entry. I found it two fold. Yes of life and her ways and yes to the strings itself. Both are well stated. May this day find you well and safe. PS - may music and life play on.

Humanity is orchestrated by the rich and powerful - but they must know, they are treading a fine line. Hugs and blessings Harry, Jennifer.

I read a story once about a famous violin performer who was onstage to give a concert and his strings began to pop one at time. He ended up doing the concert with only one string which moved the audience to tears. Yes, we as people are breaking the strings of that violin. I enjoyed reading this one. I can hear the tune turn sour but then the master player gets it right back on track. Your visit to my page was encouraging. Sara

Before it broke I hope it played a beautiful haunting tune. I love the Violin, I have an old copy cat at home of a Stradavarious :)

Hi, Harry! The level of sadness, I guess, depends on how a reader defines “the people” herein…a group on a street or Humanity in total. True and sad either way, but the vaster moves to tears. Have you ever read any of Will Durant’s volumes of history? You wrote a volume right here, needing to be read.
