Luck was on this musicians side

NEW YORK (AP) - March 12, 2009

Wang Guowei left his erhu in front of a concert hall on Feb. 28.

Bryan Newton, of Jersey City, found it.

Newton tried calling a number inside the case, but misread one digit. Instead of getting Wang, he reached a perplexed Betsy Wong in Michigan.

About a week later, Wong read about Wang's lost erhu.

Oddly enough, Wong works for an arts group in Kalamazoo, where Wang played three years ago.

She was able to connect the men. The erhu was returned Wednesday.
