I'm in the middle of trying to buy a bow and I think I've found the one I want. It's a red french made bow with a nice weight distribution and it produce a very bright sound out of my instrument. I even sight read the Beethoven VC with some bows (very slowly of course). I'm pretty sure that this bow is the best.I read the thing under Laurie's blog about the machine orchestra: very tragic. It's quite rediculous that people would stoop that low. It's almost worth the sacrafice of computer technology to have a poor paying job.
Oh well...

I was kinda down about not making All-State. My private teacher was quite certain I was going to make it. And when I got in audition room I wasn't even nervous. I did a decent job, not grade A, but grade B playing. I guess 40 other violinist did Grade A work, and about 499 other violinists had grade b work just like me, and didn't make it. Next year, I will, God willing.But now I'm amazed at one of the new CDs I bought. Brahms VC and Double Concerto with Heifetz and Piatigorsky. Mind-blowing. I thought the Tchaikovsky VC was hard, until I heard the Brahms. It has really inspired me. I want to be play violin professionally.
