You Rachel Gardner are a delight! I loved every word. Just Wow. I hope to see you play in the future. I was given a violin a couple years ago. I too adore music but I do not play. I am going to try some lessons when I feel ready. I am going to buy that book, from our local bookstore. I like it that you did that very selfless of you! I admire that.
