Our Sunday New York Times went missing this morning - pretty much the only bad thing that happened on an otherwise fine early June day. And the newspaper, for all its virtues, couldn't have delivered me this wonderful multi-media portrait of Andrea Mosconi, whose daily business is to play the 300-plus-year-old violins in a museum in Cremona, the violin making capital of the world. It's a nice reminder that every instrument, from the humble to the historic, will deteriorate if not played. And that doesn't just hold for music. See the print story HERE.
