Blog beginning...

I'm entering the blogging universe today for the first time.  I'm sitting at the kitchen table thinking about what to write, and as I look out the window I see my husband in the backyard looking intently into the sky with a violin in his hands.  He makes violins and violas and ultraviolet light will cure the varnish he applied to the instrument this morning.  The sun was out a moment ago, but a dark cloud just came overhead - will it rain?  He's bringing the violin back indoors for now.  I'm a violinist and violist, and music is thoroughly woven into my life.  As a musician and educator, I play and teach instruments that have been around for hundreds of years.  Yet, our world today is very different from a time before technology became such an integral part of everyday life.  In this blog I'll be reflecting on music and technology, and since I love orchestra I decided to name my blog "Orchtekker Musings".
