Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Chris MurphyFor 25 years, and with no sign of slowing, violinist Chris Murphy has made a living by writing, performing and recording original music.

It’s only the record industry, a relative blip in the history of putting tones in sequence, that’s suffering. Music, and the opportunity to make a life’s work out of it, well, that’s not going anywhere. http://www.makingascene.org
