I just received this email today from Matt’s mother. Friends and Supporters: I have exciting news from Matt today!! I received a letter from Matt. He said they are not in lock down for now. He said he will be emailing as soon as they get his computer account straightened out! He said he will be allowed his violin because they have violins with wire strings there. He also said he has a locker in his cell with a lock that only he can open. He can keep his violin safe when he isn't playing it. He sounded very upbeat!! I am so happy for Matt to be able to play his violin!!! He sent his selections for August.
