The Coopersmith, a woodworker that you don't usually think about.  Yesterday I got to go on a tour of "the oldest winery in America" - Brotherhood Winery.  I was excited to get to see the process of winemaking and of course sample some wines as well.  If you have ever toured a wine cellar than you would know that you are surrounded by large to gigantic wooden barrels.  I learned about how important having a good cask for your wine is.  So much so that they were willing to pay top $$ to import barrels from France.  As a woodworker I knew that needed to google a video of how barrels are made - and of course I thought I'd share:)

Thanks for ging me the love of music. So many years later I still play my flute. I share it with my students, friends, colleagues, and best of all, my mother. Although she suffers from dementia, she loves hearing me play. You inspired me to share my love of music with many.
