[Vision2020] Did you know?

[Carl Westberg]

I was just listening to NPR (an act which by itself confirms that I'm a 
liberal socialist, but I yam what I yam), and I just learned 2 cool facts 
about violin bows.  Did you know that the finest violin bows are made from 
perambuco, a wood found only in the mountains of northeast Brazil?  And that 
truly discerning violinists only play with bows that use hair from the tails 
of cold-climate horses?  Is that neat to know or what?
