...persevered. I became inspired by the story of Kris Kristofferson, who once complained to a friend, "How am I going to make it? I sing like a frog," to which the acquaintance replied, "But you're a frog who can write!" And write he did, penning such gems as "Me and Bobby McGee," which he gave to Janis Joplin.

Most of the strings played their instruments in the baroque style, holding their bows partway up the dowel instead of by the frog, as is the modern method...
