Schwarzenegger Taking Violin Lessons

Schwarzenegger Taking Violin Lessons

Governor Schwarzenegger has been spotted going to a music store in Sacramento to take violin lessons twice a week. The store owner said that Schwarzenegger came in and said he didn’t need to learn to play too well, just enough to fiddle a bit, because a close advisor told him historically Nero did it it and would be the appropriate thing to do at this time even if the state doesn’t actually catch on fire this year. One of the Bluegrass songs he is learning is “Fire On the Mountain” and wants to have it ready for the fall fire season. He has also formed a group with some legislators called “Arnie and the Predators” and is also said to be composing two original tunes entitled “California Breakdown” and “The Sacramento Backstep” which he hopes to have ready for the next budget season in Sacramento.
