5/21    So the big crowd that Obama had in Oregon was there for a free concert
        before him.  Why didn't I hear this before now?
        \_ you know the decemberists arent the second coming of Guns
           N Roses.  75,000 would be pretty huge for a Decemberists show.
           I think they were there for Obama.  plus the decemberists
           ARE FROM PORTLAND.  local bands dont draw as big a crowd

        This is the choir I went to Berlin and Carnegie Hall with.  The

        by Dave Brubeck, Meredith Monk, and David Lang.  It should be good.

AP Violinist: Fall fractures $1M fiddle By THOMAS WAGNER, Associated Press Writer Thu Feb 14, 1:21 PM ET LONDON - Can his fractured fiddle -- a million dollar Guadagnini -- be fixed? WnmfDxJJQAnHL8C/Y=YAHOO/EXP=1203239738/L=xWkp7UWTVvr83xETQI4Vvw ZqRTfow0e33xoACugz/B=wmV4N9GDJHg-/J=1203232538729707/A=4919452/R=0/* David Garrett, a former model who has been called the David Beckham of the classical scene, said he tripped while carrying his 18th century violin as he was leaving London's Barbican Hall after a performance, smashing it to bits. "I had it over my shoulder in its case and I fell down a concrete flight of stairs backward," Garrett said Thursday. "When I opened the case, much of my GB Guadagnini had been crushed." Garrett said he bought the 1772 violin for $1 million in 2003, and he is now hoping to get it repaired in New York, where he is based. "I hope and pray that it can be fixed, but if it can't, I hope my insurance policy will let me buy another great violin," the 26-year-old musician said. He told The Associated Press that other published accounts saying the violin was a Stradivarius were incorrect. Guadagnini is believed by some to have been a student of Antonio Stradivari. For his Valentine's Day concert there, he is playing a Stradivarius that's been loaned to him. Before he was 10, he played as a soloist with the London Philharmonic, according to his Web site. When he studied at the Juilliard School in New York, he became a parttime model to help supplement his income.
