short interlude of music in honor of Robert Burns, Scotland's National Bard
Remarks will be offered as we visit and celebrate the visit of the Gregg Violin to the US, the violin of his dance teacher.
A short Burns musical tribute we hope can be played upon the Gregg Violin, played by William Gregg, Robert Burn’s dancing master,
and since Burns was a fiddler himself, it is likely he also played Gregg’s violin.
