So.

[Nameless]

Somehow, I just can't see Missy playing the accordian or the double bass.

She fancies herself as a bit 'too cool for school' and alternative but I would hazard a guess that it's an instrument she became adept with in her formative years...like..............the violin, no, wait...a Viola

HA! That's where you're wrong. I played accordian. I still have it and I also played violin as a kid and started to re-teach myself it a few years back but gave up because I have to keep my nails really short.

Surely by being alternative I would go my own way

Long nails are over rated. As long as you can scratch, it's all good
