Green shoots

The April 2009 newsletter from the Colorado Case Company contains a lot of good things, beginning with a cautiously hopeful sighting of green shoots in the economic situation.

Their featured artist/luthier for this month is Bill Evans (left), who has visited Ireland twice (too briefly) with Megan Lynch. And among other things, there's a bonus: a link to the text of an address given by Karl Paulnack, director of the music division at the Boston Conservatory, on the subject of what music is for.
