grahamwarren @grahamwarren.bsky.social · 07/10/2026...if he'd heard of this Archer character. Ringo said: 'He strikes me as a nice enough fella, but he's the kind of bloke who would bottle your piss and sell it.' 000
grahamwarren @grahamwarren.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Reading various obituaries of Jeffrey Archer. His character is described in practically all of them as 'colourful'. This is code. In 1963 he was unashamedly promoting The Beatles around Oxford and his friend Sheridan Morley met Ringo Starr in the gents toilets. Ringo was asked... 100
grahamwarren @grahamwarren.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It looks like a left-handed Vox Phantom XII 12 string. The thing is that these were never production guitars, so it may have started life as a Vox 6 string left hand body which were made, but with a 12 string lookalike neck added. The headstock has no logo but it is the right way up for a Vox. #totp 000

grahamwarren @grahamwarren.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Get your ears around this: Phantom Siita, "Ningyohime no Uta" The Mermaid's Song. The video is quite something. If you can work out the chord sequence then you're a better man than me. Far too many tritone subs and augmented 5ths for your average pop tune. #phantomsiita youtu.be/Z-N0frXwQE4?...youtu.beファントムシータ『にんぎょひめのうた』(OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)YouTube video by ファントムシータ 101

grahamwarren @grahamwarren.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Lesson notes: Mainly Williams 'Schindler's List' theme. Generally OK up to bar 15. Introducing bars 15-25. Advice on bars 16-17, moving hand/finger position pre each note. Bow grip, needs to be more secure. Bend in thumb, crease of first finger should make more contact. #violin 100

grahamwarren @grahamwarren.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The 5th track on this CD, 'The Duke', manages to get all 12 keys in the first 8 bars. I'm sure there are more examples but this is so elegant it's hardly noticeable. #davebrubeck 000
grahamwarren @grahamwarren.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I was invited to my local clinic under the NHS screening programme for abdominal aortic aneurysms, for which I automatically qualified being ancient.

grahamwarren @grahamwarren.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Watch rhythm in bars 38, 39 and 60, 61. Bar 28 third note is D natural, not C#. Williams Schindler theme, relax, tension as before. Try moving thumb more under violin neck. Keep fingers close to fingerboard. Aim to work on fingerings for bars 16 to 25. #violin 100
grahamwarren @grahamwarren.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Lesson notes: Toselli Serenata, excellent progress made on note accuracy and shifting to higher positions. Need to now work on dynamics and fluidity to make it more musical. Warm up with long straight bows, using minimal effort. Relax and breathe. Avoid any tensions. Readjust if necessary. #violin 100
