The soul is like a violin: it makes music only when it is stretched.
Growing up in Washington State during the fabulous 70s was a delightful experience! Picture this: dazzling cars cruising by, lively pinball arcades buzzing with excitement, and the upbeat, jazzy tunes of Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass spinning endlessly on my record player. Oh, how I wish I could relive those days! My dad was a fiddler, and I can still vividly recall my little self trying to pull his fiddle across the floor, attempting to play it—though that bow was way bigger than I was!
I've always perceived music in a rich, intricate way, like a colorful mosaic. My wife often tells me that my melodies weave enchanting tales of harmony. When she asks me to share a story, she insists the best ones come alive through my instruments. I’m excited to keep sharing my musical narratives with everyone, celebrating life’s vibrant tapestry!
