In 1986 Mark J. Davenport left his home in South Sioux City, Nebraska, to ride to Seattle, Washington to attend Expo ‘86. The orchestra teacher carried a violin to perform along the way. Venues and audiences included “campgrounds, street corners, churches, birthday parties, and the creatures in Grand Teton National Park.”
Mark’s companion, Larry Lattanzi, who also brought along a violin, said, “this is simply our way of expressing music – touring on our bikes and playing wherever we travel. What a great experience!”
