grandpa bill’s Violin
before my pilgrimage to ireland in the spring of 2024 i recored this video. i didn’t know if i would meet the person who would fix my grandpa bill’s violin yet my ancestors told me to record this video before i left for ireland. when in ireland, i returned to ennistymon and walked down a side street i had not seen when i was there last year. a couple doors down the street i encounted byrne violin and art shop. i walked in and met brendon and shared this video with him. after watching the video, he said he would like to fix my grandfather’s violin and teach me how to play the fiddle.
correction: in the video i said my father served in the korean war, he served in world war ii
