I just found out about this today. Philip who had this strad was my friend from about 1662 (5th grade) to about 2000 when i just couldn't take his negative stuff any longer. we started our local high school prayer meeting together. I think he played this everyday and used it recording our CD you can buy some on amazon i think. i am still astounded. it was most likely in my house for a year and a half while he lived here.

Wow. Either you really have longevity in your family, or you're vampires!

That’s an amazing story and it must feel weird to know you had an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in your house for so long.

Fascinating story.

As soon as Totenberg finds out you are a Conservative, the FBI will charge you as an accessory!

Geeze!

You have really held up over the centuries, Mr. Peter Stuyvesant.

Can you elaborate how your friend, Peter Minuit, really acquired Man Hattan?

Amy Totenberg’s reaction to finding her father’s violin. Amy is a U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of GA.

I keep getting Nina Totenberg mixed up with Nina Burleigh, she of the presidential kneepads.

I doubt Nina Totenbag even had a father. She was spawned from some primordial leftist spew.

"we started our local high school prayer meeting together."

Sounds like it didn't take in his case.
