Work in a die cast plant. Work on week ends at a Grist mill. Pick and grin when I can. I don't think anyone knows how many generations of violin makers there are in my family. I can only confirm five going back to the 1830's. They were in the society of Friends Church from England and settled in the Yadkin River valley of North Carolina in 1735. In England at that time period it was illegal to make violins, so they called themselves keeper of the Devils Instument. My blood is made from violin varnish and pine rosin.

[last edited on Fri Oct 23, 2009 @ 07:38 AM] Busy hands are happy hands...and helpin' out your family and others is what it's all about. Your a hard workin' guy Wooly and that has it's rewards. The 40 hours at the plant is probably the least gratifying...but sadly, we all need money and most of us work damn hard and sacrifice our precious time to get it. Maybe the German professor will commission you to build the ultimate fiddle...the next Woolivarius!
