I often tell kids at school visits that I'm an author because I didn't quit violin in 6th grade when I discovered how bad I really sounded. I kept on playing and practicing and ended up as the concert mistress in high school. I learned from music lessons Clara Gillow Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10204130118900222511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581277174023785317.post-37976756621707970632013-11-06T07:47:21.513-05:002013-11-06T07:47:21.513-05:00This post reminds me that we were privileged to ha...This post reminds me that we were privileged to have a private concert with the Baldwin girls once upon a time. And now, these past years, I have been privileged to grow along the writing path with you, Carol.

I've heard plenty of kids attempting to play "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." I'm not sure if any of them got it the first time out. Most likely not.
