    Kevin W Jameson

    Hi, I grew up in Calgary, AB, Canada, and have been an avid reader my whole life. I've read thousands of books by now, listed in a database that I keep. I like to dig deep to understand and master interesting, difficult problems such as those described in my books. Many years ago I earned a few academic degrees (Industrial Electronics, BSc General Science, MSc Software Engineering). Then I gained lots of real life experience from running an advanced software research company for 25 years. With my remaining life, I hope to have some fun, learn some new things, and pass on my life knowledge to help other people.

      Learning Violin Helped Me Survive Prison

      Jul 6, 2018

      My Violin Story

      I write this true story in the 63rd year of my life, 22 years after the events that I describe in the story below. The memories are burned into my mind to this very day. They are utterly unforgettable.

      I confess that I still do not understand the events, or how such things are even possible in life. And yet they were. The events happened, just as I have recorded them below.

      It all began 22 years ago, one sunny Saturday afternoon, on my friend's wedding day.

      I was 40 years old then, and believe it or not, I had never heard a real violin before in my entire life. I had seen pictures of them, and I'd heard them on records and the radio. But I'd never heard a real violin before, in person.

      That day in the summer sun, I was standing out on the deck of the reception hall, looking out across a big pond at the beautiful trees on the other side of the valley.

      Suddenly I heard this incredible sound. It electrified me, and I shivered inside. I felt it. The sound went deep into the core of me somehow—instantly. Such force!

      That was how I met my first violin. The sound would change my life forever.

      I'd never heard such incredible
