Mother told me a string snapped on Itztak Perlman’s violin and he asked the audience if anyone had a G-string. It brought down the house.

I am pleased as punch with myself if I break a string on my racket; however, I always have back-up racket. I won a match against a superior player whose string snapped and she had no back-up.

Oh it just brings tears to my eyes ! God wills that there be Beauty in the world.
The music, the offering of talent, the quickness of the first violinist too

Nobody handles a broken string better than Stevie Ray Vaughan.
