Carl Atwood used to love playing his violin, but stopped
After Carl Atwood (Margaret Atwood’s father) attended his first professional music performance, he stopped performing with his fiddle. He didn’t speak about it but his daughter Margaret wrote in her book that she guessed he felt he wasn’t up to the mark. He compared his standard with the professional violinists’ level of play and he lost confidence in his skills.
