72 Historic string packages from the collection of Kevin Fagerberg, violin repair technician at The Violin Shop in Lincoln, Nebraska. |
| I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin and his wife Nancy during Steeleye Span's American tour last year (Sept. 2000). Kevin is an amateur fiddle player and a professional repairer who has compiled this wonderful collection of old violin string packets. He kindly sent me these pictures as a gift and I asked his permission to post them on my site. Thanks Kevin. |

'Eb English' A drawing by Craig aged five. |
| This drawing was sent to me by Jenn, a pre-school teacher who likes to incorporate music in her classes. On this occasion she played 'An Ancient Cause' and asked the children to draw what they felt as they listened. Jenn kindly sent the picture to me. How could it not go into the showcase. Well done Craig and thank you. It's a beautiful drawing. |
