A brief letter from Jim Shrimplin：

Greeting from Dubuque, IA.

I was fortunate enough to have been at the concert here in Dubuque on Sunday.  I would like to say that was the best violin playing that I have ever heard.  I am new to the classical works so that probably does not mean a whole lot but if more people had the opportunity to hear this level of ability there would be more lovers of classical music.  I hope that you will be able to come back to the Dubuque area soon.  If I hear about it, I will do everything I can to come and to bring my family with me.  The only thing that I regret about this concert was the fact that my 8 year old son was not able to be there.  He has been playing for a little over a year and it would been a great encouragement to hear someone so young play so well.  Thanks for the wonderful afternoon of great music.  Your instrument is truly in the hands of a master!  

 

Thanks again,

Jim Shrimplin
