Status Updates From The Magic Strings of Franki...

"I have said that music allows for quick creation. But it is nothing compared with what you humans can destroy in a single conversation."

"Man searches for courage in drink, but it is not courage that he finds, it is fear that he loses. A drunken man may step off a cliff. That does not make him brave, just forgetful."

"'Remember this, Francisco,' he said. 'The secret is not to make your music louder, but to make the world quieter.'"

"No other creature has this arrogance - to confine its own. Could you imagine a bird imprisoning another bird? A horse jailing a horse? As a free form of expression, I will never understand it. I can only say that some of my saddest sounds have been heard in such places. A song inside a cage is never a song. It is a plea."

“Truth is light. Lies are shadows. Music is both.”

“All humans are musical.
Why else would the Lord give you a beating heart.”

It is very slow going

It still has not got me, I almost fell asleep

It is very slow reading. Has not captivated me yet.

Love it

I don’t want it to end

already so good

Sooo good!

Only book I got to read today. I’m loving it.

But a room is not a house,
and a house is not a home,
when the two of us are far apart,
and one of us has a broken heart.

part 2 started off how frankie survived going to america in quest of finding his aunt that he then thought was his mother the moment he laid his eyes on her, and teavelling with the famous musicians has been a great experience for him learning the gypsy's way of playing music.

It’s such a cute and inspiring story

i just cant seem to put this book down. it is so good! thanks to my friend, suraya who gifted this to me.

I’m liking how this is put together. Will be a fast read. No doubt in my kind.

"The secret is not to make your music louder, but to make the world quieter."

"You cannot unplay your notes. Time, like music, is indelible that way."

"Do not cry over losing blood. Not for something you love."

"You cannot write if you do not read," the blind man said." You cannot eat it you do not chew. And you cannot play if you do not—listen."

There is a reason you glance up when you first hear a melody, or tap your foot to the sound of a drum. All humans are musical. Why else would the Lord give you a beating heart?

I love everything he has written thus far!!!

Frankie bertemu Aurora~

LOVE it so far.

Fantastic!!!
