Why We Chose It
Today, a musical performance is at your fingertips anytime you want it, and you don’t need to carry a fiddle to get it. But before this moment in the last century, live music was a special occasion delivered mostly by local musicians. Songs were not copied and replayed infinitely, they were one-off, ephemeral experiences that only lived forever in a person’s imagination. And obviously, the instruments that delivered them were cherished; that part hasn’t changed.
