What a crazy, literally jam-packed week it's been in Orlando at the national
ASTA
(American Strings Teachers Assoc.) conference! I had a
STRUM BOWING
booth for the first time, and met a ton of hard-working string teachers and students. Here are just a few memorable moments.
(Lots of photos, vids and announcements about summer camps so scroll down and, as always, click the images for links and vids.)
And Happy Birthday today to my beautiful wife!
