The Dallas Strolling Strings DFW 972-690-3003 typc@comcast.net |
This website is just plain strange. What's with the horizontal layout? Too weird. They offer one to five strolling violinists, and you can hear samples of their music on the website. They charge by the hour, but don't say how much they charge. Add 50% for the Arboretum (probably because it's not air conditioned!). |
