People in the Rockford area may know Asher as the man they turn to to fix their ailing stringed instruments, or the trumpet and viola player with the Rockford Symphony Orchestra, or the maker of intricately-inlaid wooden boxes, or that guy they see on his bike all the time. He also has a fascinating family history, up to and including his musically-talented wife and two daughters. Thanks so much to Tom for sharing his story with us.
