BIRDSBORO PA – Music historian Robert Mouland, a Plowville PA resident, thinks it’s important to get things right, and by right he means accurate.

Mouland plays historically appropriate music at a variety of events in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and elsewhere, and to do so he brings with him the proper “tools” to ply his trade … mostly instruments that are a hundred or more years old.

So although listeners may have been a bit surprised, Mouland thought little of tuning up an original baroque violin – made during 1760 in London -  on Sunday (Oct. 17, 2010) to play a song titled “Miss Jessie Stewart of Garth” during the annual Heritage Days observance at the Daniel Boone Homestead, 400 Daniel Boone Rd., Birdsboro PA.
