What a thrill to visit the Jefferson Building, the very first building of the Library of Congress built with granite mined from seven quarries in and around Concord, New Hampshire–also home of the famous Concord Coach. For both stories, see my first book Hidden History of New Hampshire.
Thanks to Janice Ruth, of the Manuscripts Division, of the Library of Congress, I was delighted to be invited to present a talk about American Luthier: Carleen Hutchins–the Art and Science of the Violin to the Women’s History Discussion Group of the Library of Congress. Such a knowledgeable crew of librarians and a few musicologists! Many thanks for your time, enthusiasm and encouragement!!
