Eiko Brown, Dalton, MA, USA, Red-Karpet Tattoo
I’ve always had a love affair with the violin. From the opening notes of Springsteen’s “Jungleland,” to the soaring heights of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Lark Ascending,” to the energy of Jean-Luc Ponty’s “Enigma,” to the haunting sounds of Marshall Tucker’s “This Ol’ Cowboy,” this instrument has been a constant in my life; I’ve been lucky enough to own the same one for over fifty years. The tattooist, Eiko, from Red-Karpet Tattoo, did a stunning job of capturing the detail of my violin, particularly the flower on the tailpiece.
