Music is in our family’s heritage.  Every holiday we would gather the extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and have a big buffet meal; everyone brought something to eat as a contribution.  We would visit for a while and then the instruments would come out and the party would really begin!  My relatives would jam for hours on end and we had a great time.  One of my uncles played the violin so beautifully it could make you cry!
