The Violin Teacher - Book Launch

Access

About

William Thain's first-person account of a life lived, in music, moving pictures, and major events, told over six-decades is keenly transcribed by Marjorie Devine, who sensed in the worn leather bindings, a rare opportunity to know a person, in their own words, and to know a place, the way that they knew it.

In this volume, Devine preserves Thain's voice and provides local historians with a curated story of his life in Guelph, between 1898 and 1958. Devine is owed a debt of gratitude for her dedication in transcribing the diaries and for placing the original artifacts in the care of Guelph Museums.
