Last night, I had a more-than-usually realistic dream...I think I was at home and practicing in a chamber group preparing for some small concert. In the middle of a really tough passage, I dreamt my violin's bridge cracked and collapsed, causing a really bad hairline crack resulting in a split and a hole on the left side of my violin.

For those of you that don't know, when that happens to a violin, even if you repair it, your violin will never sound the same again. And so in my dream, I just started crying...only to wake up a few seconds (or was it minutes) later, also crying in real life.

I've had this for 10 years, even though I've been playing for 12 years now because the first two years, I grew into this sized violin. Does it seem really silly to you all that I have...feelings for an inanimate object? That I hold it so close to my heart after 10 years of owning and playing it?
