Barbara Toby Stack Music
March, 1957: Atlantic City:
About a year after I started playing violin in a school program in Dover, NH, begun by Cecil Carter and supervised by George Bornoff.
That's me in the argyle socks looking at the photographer, Marion L. Hamm, and not the conductor, Marvin Rabin.
Mrs. Hamm's son, Richard, later to be friend and frequent musical collaborator, is the boy in the plaid shirt
standing second from right.
December 1, 1966: Lowell House, Harvard: Concertmaster Richard Hamm invited me over from Brandeis to play viola.
1967 in Brandeis Dorm with my second guitar and Dynaco SCA-35 that I built from a kit and customized.
I needed the gear to study for Music 1 taught by the great Leo Treitler.
