On Friday, June 20, 2008, she played a one-woman show with electric violin on the Statehouse lawn. Terrific fun!
"The Ohio Statehouse was thrilled to have Linda Senter participate in our 2008 Summer Fridays performing arts series. The display of musical talent by Linda was well received and enjoyed by over 400 guests. The downtown community and Statehouse visitors were thrilled to see her engaging performance at the People's House."
Gregg Dodd, Deputy Director for Communications, Marketing & Events, Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board, The Statehouse, Columbus, Ohio
"In April of 1995, I regretfully retired from music due to a myriad of violin-induced complaints that had plagued me for at least ten years: stiff, swollen fingers; weak, swollen right elbow; stiff lower jaw, discomfort in my neck, and a feeling of tiny wires poking into my ears; where my violin contacts my chin, a cyst that often became inflamed. Despite taking the prescription drug Naprosyn (which made me sick to my stomach), I could play no longer than a half hour a day, so I just quit.
"But that same month, I became a Nikken Independent Wellness Consultant and began using all the Nikken products; by September of 1995, I was able to play violin for hours, with limber joints and happy fingers, without drugs and without agonizing discomfort, and I've been a professional violinist ever since.
