What makes John Montgomery such a fine choice for recognition in your May 4 Arts & Living section is that John devotes the same care and attention to the customer who is purchasing a half-size cello for her 8-year-daughter as he does to the N.C. Symphony extraordinaire who is purchasing a custom-made instrument. We are blessed to have someone of John's talent living and working in the heart of Raleigh.
