It is not that he took a few years "off", it is that he re-focused his life.   He continues to make exquiste violins at a shop in Delaware.   He returned to the stage a few years ago, often performing with his wife as the guitarist for the Angel Band, and this new CD is his first solo effort.

The CD is amazing. It is a folk CD and Bromberg has fun with it. As he says, he is not "showing off" on this recording, just having great fun with the songs.
