What a delightful experience to talk fiddles and share the unusual journey of violinmaker Carleen Hutchins in the round in the community space at the far end of Scuppernong Books, the award-winning coffee-wine-gourmet food indie bookstore that has continued to carve out its niche in downtown Greensboro, NC.

Many thanks to Scuppernong with special thanks to the McGregor clan!!! ...
