Extractions: Home (Published in The Strad , July 2004) Alan Coggins and Michael Lea examine the lives and work of two Australian violin making pioneers 'There is no town in the world where so much music is consumed as London.' So wrote Hector Berlioz after his visit there to assist in the judging of musical instruments at the Great Exhibition in 1851. All over England, music could be found in churches, clubs and taverns as well as on the street, and large audiences would regularly flock to hear orchestras and ensembles. Domestic playing was also popular, spurred on by individuals wanting to emulate the skills of the virtuosos or at least to enjoy at home the tunes they had heard in the early music halls. For musical instrument makers and repairers, business must have been booming. On the other side of the globe, Australia in the 1850s was a very different place. The discomforts of heat and flies (not to mention the snakes and spiders) were being overshadowed by a much more powerful attraction - gold. Its discovery in various locations in New South Wales and Victoria led to a dramatic increase in population. In Victoria for example, the population jumped from just 67,000 in 1851 to more than half a million over the next decade. Melbourne, the closest city to the gold rush towns of Ballarat and Bendigo, was rapidly being 'built with gold'. Even for those immigrants not actively involved in the search for gold, there was always the prospect of making a healthy living in providing for the needs of the increasing population. Could this be what motivated a 44-year-old trained violin maker to leave a potentially lucrative working environment in London and risk a hazardous three-month voyage to the other side of the world? Whether it was the pull of a new life in Australia or the push of the old life in England is open to speculation. However, we do know that John Devereux arrived in Melbourne in 1854 and by 1860 had established himself as a proficient maker with a growing reputation.

RIN:024 HAS THE VIOLIN BUSINESS BECOME A CRIMINAL RACKET AND A SNARE? Here the starting point is the 1981 " Kanda " scandal named for Mr. Yuko Kanda , a prominent Japanese MUSICIAN /Dealer . The scandal involved misrepresentations made to purchasers of violins, certificate forgery , insurance fraud , and bribery of teachers . Indeed, among Mr. Kanda 's accomplices was Prof. Yoshio Unno a violinist of international fame and member of a prestigious teaching faculty. The participants in Kanda were truly prominent. It thus drew world attention to ethical-legal abuses which are regrettably common but, in this case, so extensive that its investigation involved not only Japanese police , but also the F.B.I. and Interpol

Extractions: Joe Dassin launched his career in America, singing French chanson classics on the local bar circuit. But the enterprising young singer would soon bring his distinctive brand of American folk to France, rocketing to the top of the charts in the 60's with his hit single "Bip Bip". Although his career was cut short by a fatal heart attack in Tahiti in 1980, Dassin would record a whole string of hit singles including his legendary "L'été indien". Dassin meets Berr yGordy and Bob Dylan During his student days Joe earned his living through a series of odd jobs, working as a cook, a dustbin man and a plumber, before landing a job as a DJ on WCX radio in Detroit in 1958. It was here that he met Berry Gordy, the famous creator of Tamla Motown. During his stay in the States Joe became friendly with a number of top names in the music business including young 60's folk singer, Pete Seeger, who introduced him to a young man by the name of Robert Zimmerman (who would later become the legendary Bob Dylan). Joe was gradually becoming interested in music himself and he would frequently go busking with a French friend, performing classic Brassens's songs on the sidewalks and cafe terraces. This proved to be useful experience for young Joe, as it gave him plenty of guitar practice.

Extractions: Gold Standard Emerson String Quartet glitters Oct 28, 1999 By Scott MacClelland Classical The bar was set high for the new concert season by the Emerson String Quartet last Friday. Opening the Chamber Music Monterey Bay series in Carmel, the all-American, award-winning, internationally acclaimed Emerson dazzled its audience with glitzy readings of Haydn, Shostakovich and Ravel. This involved not a little premeditation and exaggeration. In all cases, the Emerson had obviously designed their performances in great detail. Missing, as a result, was spontaneity, a certain spirit of the moment. Haydn''s Quartet in D "Lark" began with surprising leisure, but ended with a breathtaking finale at breakneck speed. The emotional center of the concert was Shostakovich''s Quartet No. 14 in F sharp

Extractions: The Crock of Gold Sydenham Wells Park Saturday July 2 COMMENCING at twilight in a packed marquee in Sydenham Wells Park, The Crock of Gold was highly anticipated by outdoor theatregoers - and they were even queuing up for standby tickets before the started. Plot - well it's virtually impossible to explain, but suffice to say The Crock of Gold, presented by South London-based theatre company London Bubble, is based on an Irish novel written in 1912 by James Stephens. A very strange and wonderful novel, The Crock of Gold is full of philosophers and enchanted gold. The tale is magical, enchanting, and enhanced by the of a solid crew of actors and actresses who not only battle with the elements - midges, spiders, tree branches, mud - as they perform, but are called upon to use everything to hand as props. Food whisks, shoes, cutlery; everything is thrown into the mix. There's humour for kids and adults and the production is visually stunning as it uses all manner of lighting - torchlight, even a real fire at one point, to illuminate the areas.

Extractions: Don was an excellent pianist, who also had degrees in Law and Medicine. At one time during his career, Don Voorhees, held the record for the longest un broken orchestra run on Broadway. In addition, Don had been musical director for Broadway (and Hollywood) producer Earl Carroll, since the second edition o f the Earl Carroll Vanitie revue. (At times, his band was also very well known as "Don Voorhees and his Earl Carroll Vanities Orchestra".) During 1 932-'34, He was the Musical Director for comedian Ed Wynn's NBC radio network's Texaco 'Firechief' Gasoline weekly show. And, here's a picture of that NBC Studio Orchestra , as they appeared at the Texaco 'Firechief' show (with thanks to Mr. Marc Giaquinto for permission to post very rare photograph).
