Hahaha, G String. G String. Get it? Lowest string on the violin? The only string shown on the layout? But yes, new layout indeed.
This layout is kinda strange and 2005. It also absolutely breaks on IE6. I can probably recode the CSS but those users can also fuck off and die should seriously reconsider their browser choice. Certain unknown funky things may happen on IE7 as well; they may or may not be fixed.
And yes, that’s my electric violin in the header image. I picked up that cheap violin here in Australia. It’s quite decent after I replaced the strings that came with it with a nice, new set.
Here’s a picture of said violin half in action:
Gah! Mum! If I knew you’re taking a picture, I’d have sat up straight, hidden the Michelin, stopped pouting and maybe, you know, held a bow and done some proper fingering. Candids ftl.
Before you try to play the music in the background image on your instrument of choice and go all, “What the fireball was Mozart thinking?”, note that the piece is in A major, first line = B♭ clarinet (I think — I don’t know much about wind instruments), second and third = violins, fourth = viola, and the barely visible fifth = cello. Learn your clefs.
And now Vickiepedia sinks back into the dust.

This new layout is LOVELY. I love the music theme! Violins are awesome. I’m jealous you can play the violin! Maybe I really should try learning the cello . . . HM.
And dude, I think you should play Air on G by J.S. Bach now.

“I don’t quite play the violin” might be a more appropriate way to describe me. If you asked my neighbours, though, they’d probably describe me as “PLEASE DON’T PLAY THE VIOLIN”.
This is a test reply comment.

I have some code on my site that if a viewer is using IE6 it informs them their browser is out dated and gives them some options for downloading various other browsers.
Ya got me with the G-string, not that I was looking for, oh…

Hey Vickie,
man i wish i had an electric violin…that would be SO awesome. I hate when band kids think they are so much better than violinists. We violinists, should stick together! Huzzah!
