Fiddling notes

This past Tuesday afternoon, Shelley, as part of the Fiddleheads fiddle group, performed for the children that gathered for the city library's opening of their Summer Reading Program. It was held inside the city council chambers. The room was full, holding about fifty children and adults. It was a great little performance. In between the opening and closing portions of the performance, the librarian described the reading programs for children and teens, as he well as a couple of other events happening during the summer.

For the past week Shelley has been trying out a different violin, and yesterday we purchased it. Since we don't have a local instrument shop, the two choices we have are to get it shipped in somehow, or find someone in town that wants to sell theirs. Fortunately we were able to get an instrument from a local family wanting to sell theirs. The instrument itself is a beginner's instrument. But it came with a nice case. :)
