Okay, I have written about tacos and gyms in Charleston, now let's take this new blogging thing in a completely different direction and talk about… Violin Instructors in Charleston.
You might ask yourself, violin instructors? Where did this come from? What is going on with this guy? He is all over the boards.
Great question! Please keep in mind this blog is titled Random Thoughts by Nat Wallen and…since my new blog is really about me writing a blog and only mildly about the topic I am writing about, let me back up and explain.
As a Realtor, I have been helping many buyers with the new Boeing plant become familiar with the area. What I have found is that there are a variety of requests about Charleston that the average realtor does not think about. It happens to us all. No matter how long I have been doing this, no matter how many days in my lifetime I have lived in Charleston (which is like 99.9997% of my days alive), I do not know the answer to everything about Charleston.
I know, this is hard to believe...but I am being very serious...A realtor not knowing the answer to something… it does happen. And from this point forward, when I do not know the answer to an important question (like where to find violin instructors in Charleston), I have vowed to look for inspiration in my inability to answer all questions about the area and blog about it, while also answering the question.
Take today for example. I met a really nice couple that just drove in from Washington State to work with Boeing. They did not ask about violin instructors in Charleston, but they did ask for a european grocery store. Sure enough, with my new proclaimed thirst for wisdom, I took a moment and made a mental note about blogging about specialty food stores in the area. If anyone knows of any, I would sure like some help to minimize my research on the future topic.
To get back to the topic of the day, Bill and Tonya are a couple that relocated from California because they were promoted from within Boeing. Tonya requested information about violin instructors in Charleston and actually provided me with the information. She gave it to me, so I could provide it to others… which was really nice and very thoughtful of her.
So thanks to Tonya, here are a few of the violin instructors in Charleston:

Marlena Davis - Instructor
Marlena has a bacehelor’s degree in music. She is currently taking new students. The store can provide rentals and sales of violins.
So, there you are… These violin instructors in Charleston are much better violin players than I am. In fact, I know they are… because I am only a mildly proficient guitar and bass player...and when I say proficient, I probably should have said “decent, but not that great”.
After discovering the recent music of Andrew Bird, I do think the violin is a much more interesting instrument, and who knows… maybe I will give some of these instructors a call. Learn something new…culture myself and maybe even engage in a second career. Well, not likely… But my daughters might be prime candidates to become violinists.
Thanks for tuning in and please excuse my subtle use of cheap puns at every chance I find. I am not a classically trained writer, but this blogging thing is pretty new and once I get some subscribers, maybe they will tell me what can be improved upon.
Thanks for listening to me rant about violin instructors in Charleston…I hope I did not string the topic out too much!
