William Steck
Vern William Steck (February 18, 1934 in Powell, Wyoming – April 13, 2013) was an American violinist.[1]
He was encouraged almost from birth to play music. His father was a violinist who had returned to his family's farm during the Depression, and his mother held a variety of jobs to finance their only child's musical education. At times, his parents were forced to choose between buying their son new toys and taking him to concerts by such violinists as Jascha Heifetz and Yehudi Menuhin.
His family settled in
University of Texas in Austin
in 1957.
