Violin meets Happy Guitar and Bass

Lyrics:

© Shamika

Once upon a time there was a very sad and lonely violin. She'd been left alone in a dark cold loft, and with no owner, she just sang a plaintive dirge to herself all day and all night.

Then one night she heard a sound coming from the adjoining loft. It was a happy sound from a guitar that had just moved in with a family next door. The guitar was always happy because all day his owner practiced a little loop, preparing to upload it on his favorite music sit, wikiloops.com. But the owner went away for weeks at a time and the happy guitar wished that he had a friend to play with.

One night the sad violin cried out as loud as she could and the happy guitar heard her. They started a coversation in 'Musicese' which they both understood.
"Have you heard of this jamming site wikiloops, sad violin? You know people there don't get many violins so I think they'd love to hear you"
"But I'm no good" said Sad Violin "Who wants to hear a sad, old, out of tune instrument like me?"
"Don't be silly" sad Happy Guitar, "You are unique, you have a fine voice and wikiloopers will be kind and helpful... and if I play with you we will sound much better"

So every night they spoke to each other and told stories about their life and experiences. After a while, Sad Violin started to fall in love with Happy Guitar and Happy Guitar loved her back.
"Happy Guitar, you have brought joy to my sad life and music to my empty world, let's play together forever"

The owner of the guitar came home one day with a super, shiny new Strat and he didn't need Happy Guitar anymore... which made Happy sad :( But the good thing was, he was left up in the loft where no-one could hear him except his new love,

Dear listener, you'll be happy to know that the pair did get together on wikiloops.com, where they got lots of likes, applause, smiles and wonderful comments. If you go to hear them play together you will understand how you don't need to be a perfect musician to be successful and happy, all you need is a friend to jam with. Shamika xxx
