I love the violin. I wish I could play it. First seen in 16th century Italy, the best-known and most prized instruments were made by the Stradivari, Guarneri, and Amati families.
There are some notable violinists, but my favorite performer is without a doubt Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg. I’ve never seen anyone play with as much passion.
I am the bestselling author of nine novels, including the Swiss Chocolate trilogy and VILLA DEL SOL, which won the 2018 Book Award in Literary Fiction from the Independent Publishers of New England.
My newest series includes the books A JINGLE VALLEY WEDDING, APRIL IN GALWAY, and ALL’S WELL IN JINGLE VALLEY.
Find my books online at Amazon, locally at Stillwater Books (Pawtucket, Rhode Island) and Ink Fish Books (Warren, Rhode Island).

I used to play, but it’s been so many years I’m more than rusty! I should take a few lessons. It’s a beautiful instrument 🙂
My father in law used to play the violin. He liked Bluegrass music the best.
It is a beautiful sound if you know how to play it. http://enchantedfantasies.blogspot.com/

For me, I either love something played on the violin or I hate it. Not sure if it is the instrument, the song or the player.
