Musicians have to do a lot of driving. Around here a number of musicians are members of more than one orchestra. Some call it the “Freeway Philharmonic”, as they drive so much.

News of a drunk driving accident (do we really call it that? Or perhaps it’s called a drunk driving murder?) in Oregon, killing two musicians and injuring another, is simply heartbreaking.

We do our best to be safe when we drive, but drunk drivers are beyond our control. This news is just very, very sad.
