ALONG WITH REPAIRING VIOLINS I'M HAVING A FIDDLE SLOJAM AT MY
HOUSE ON MONDAY NIGHTS AND WE HAVE SIX OR EIGHT BRAVE
SOULS THAT ARE DOING OUR BEST TO COME UP TO SPEED AND READ
MUSIC. OF COURSE, I'VE FORMATTED THE TUNES IN SEBELIUS SO
THAT THOSE OF US OVER 40 CAN READ THEM AND AN AUDIO FILE
WITH CLICK TRACK GOES WITH EACH TUNE.

THANKS TO MY OLD FRIEND LEN KIER WHO PASSED AWAY
LAST DECEMBER (2005) I HAVE THE TOOLS TO EXPERIMENT
WITH REPAIR AND ENJOY A HOBBY RELATED TO MUSIC. LEN'S
DAUGHTER BEV WAS KIND ENOUGH TO ALLOW ME TO
PURCHASE MANY OF THE TOOLS LEN USED IN HIS
GARAGE/WORKSHOP WHERE HE DID REPAIR FOR THE FIDDLE
PLAYERS IN THE SAN DIEGO AREA.
