| Abstract | Founder and publisher of Esquire magazine, Gingrich recounts in this memoir his acquaintance with the violin late in life--the title of the book reflects his routine of practicing every morning before starting his day. In addition, he describes his collection of violins, including a Stradivarius, and regales the reader with violin lore and history. |
