John Levy Smithsonian Interview Block 127 (Q15076)

Right. But by my parents listening to classical music and religious music, they decided to get me a violin. That was my first thing about music. They got a violin for me. I started some lessons very, very young, but I didn't stay with the instrument at all. But I did get a sense of the instrument, of what it was, and playing, but I didn't particularly care for it. I didn't like it.
