The Many Stories of Bill Fitzpatrick: The day I snapped my bow

So Bob Holmes introduced us to Pat, a violin teacher who lived near us, near Fisk University, and I began having private lessons. So as I was practicing one day I was so into it that as I was walking out of the living-room my bow entered the crack between the door and the frame. I saw it enter but by the time I could stop I had cracked my bow almost totally in half. I panicked I tried to Scotch-tape it but that didn't work so I decided to use glue and it seemed at least to hide it. Later in a lesson I couldn't play an off-the-string stroke. Pat took my bow and she tried to demonstrate it but she couldn't and that's when she noticed the glue. She asked what happened and I told her. She went outside, told my grandmother and they came back and only chided me for not saying anything. Lesson learned!
