We are one week closer to clearance Easter candy, and one week closer to summer holidays. Sure, we complain about how it's still cold now, but just wait until July when we all clamour for November to arrive. Here's this weeks music news:
-Fiddle virtuoso Mark O'Connor drops and seriously damages instrument seconds before a concert, and requests to use the concert master's violin - if I were that concert master, I would be terrified to let my instrument into the hands of someone who just did likely irreparable damage to their own.

-Even the world's top violinists can't tell a Stradivarius from a high end new violin- but I bet an insurance claims adjuster can. (Source)
-How do you know when a composition is done? When do you stop editing? (Answer: when it is forcibly ripped from your hands.) (Source)
-All musicians have "day jobs." This article is inspirational and makes you feel like slightly less of a failure. (Link)
-To no one's surprise, Ian Campbell was booed last Sunday when he came out to announce what may be the final San Diego Opera production. (Source)
-In a world first, Kristine Opolais had her debut in two Met opera productions within one day. I cannot imagine the nap she took after she was finished. (Source)
-Johnny Cash's son, John Carter Cash, says he will never let his father's music to be used to advertise drinking or smoking, and I think that's awesome. (Source)
