I had the privilege of meeting Violet Hensley at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. She was selling her handmade violins and fiddles. She handed me her personal fiddle and told me to play. Right there in the middle of a crowd. It was wonderful and her violins are so unique sounding. I wish I could have bought one there. Violet is 104 today and still teaching and playing. Very kind self made woman living here in the Ozarks. I feel blessed to have met her and gotten to experience her skills.
