Mrs. Fletcher's Violinists

Description

In the 1920's there was an active and sizeable group of violinsts in the community. Lessons were given by a Mrs. Fletcher, the British wife of the clergyman of St. George's Anglican Church in New Glasgow. Mrs. Joyce Goodman recalls, "The Goodman boys had to practise daily at the manse and their violins were left there for them. Recitals were held at the Academy of Music and she remembers playing a violin solo "Mosquito Dance".
