I can't.
If we don't bring Boyd back can we not get another violinist?

Here's my thought on it. I agree, I can't synth. It's the opposite of why I like DMB..
However.. I think Buddy's synth skills are some of the best I've heard.. AND it's allowed for songs like Pig to return a bit more often and not just have Tim solo over everything to fill space..
But agreed. If you're going to resort to faking a violin, why not just bring a new violin player in.. Even if it's only on songs like Pig, Ants, Liog.. Kind of like a lovely ladies situation where this person would come out for 2 -3 songs early on, and then 2 -3 songs at the end of the set..
I'd much rather them try to figure out how to play these songs without those parts, and without just turning to Tim and say solo all over Song That Jane Likes until it sounds nothing like the original version.. Try some clean piano sounds, or let Tim play acoustic on somethings.. Just more creativity, rather than just leaving it empty or trying to recreate the parts exactly but failing..
