Could it be this guy? Ken A. Johnson
I'm a retired carpenter, was born in Highland Park, Michigan. I began violin lesson's at age 3 and played until I was about 9 yrs old, my mom couldn't afford the lesson's any longer, they were very expensive back then, one hour per week @ $ 0.75. pr. hr. I played in the school orchestra for 3 yrs. I then gave up the violin and bought a new guitar out of the catalog I received from selling flower and vegetable seeds, door to door. OHH,,, I should mention, I'm 69 yrs old, things were different back then. My new guitar cost $7.00, It had GUT strings and was painted a beautifull bright green with a cowboy and prairie tumble weeds on the face. It was GREAT. I have played guitar ever since. When I was in High School, I taught myself how to play the Hammond Organ we had, later at age 50, I was given a piano that my Aunt gave me. Over the past 60 yrs, I have dabbled with the violin from time to time. I have two of them, one was my Stepfathers, Grandfathers, that instrument is around 120 yrs old, I also have a cheap fiddle I purchased online a few yrs. ago. I recently had the old fiddle worked on by a Luthier in Birmingham, MI., new bridge, strings, sound post and the fingerboard reshaped. I have played or been involved with music my whole life, but never long enough to get really proficient at anything, I do things just long enough to say I can do it. I happened to stumble on, FM's website while looking for a Luthier on Google. First time I've seen anything that has more than just one post on Youtube. Wonderfull site Pierre, thanks.
