  • This little tune just sort of popped off my fingers yesterday. I might have made it up, I'm not sure. Brand spanking new, raw and unembellished.
    I'm playing on a violin I recently restored, a special gift from a dear friend whose grandfather brought it to America - one of the few possessions he brought with him from Russia - circa 1920.
    His father - my friend's great grandfather - was a shtetl rebbe near Odessa, and in those days, resources being slim, he was often paid with chickens, or eggs, and in one instance - he was paid with this violin.
    There is also an interesting story regarding what world famous violinist may have been its original owner - a story for another day, and part of the mystique and magic of this instrument.
    It's a great sounding violin and I feel honored and privileged to have this instrument in my possession. I wake up in the morning and can't wait to play it.

    Wonderful…..in my 70th year I’ve been listening to and playing traditional Irish music for nearly 60 years and I’ve never heard one like this….must be a Sara original.

      Okay, I'll take it. Are you in Scotland? Ever run into a banjo player by the name of Maurice, about our age, travels around in a camper van? I have met him in Ennis a couple of times.
