Oh, what things you learn whenever you work with wood! Always double check your layout and make sure all reference points are where they are suppose to be!

Jory Vinikour will be the director of the Early Music Festival and Workshop at the Rocky Ridge Music Center this coming August. Rocky Ridge is located at the base of Longs Peak and is just six miles north of my house on Highway 7! I hope to attend some concerts there this summer.
In this YouTube video he plays one of my favorite pieces by Francois Couperin, Les Barricades Mistérieuses.
