October Reading

Traditionally, people read scary stuff in October. I'm not very conformist, however, and really despise the roots of Halloween...and don't like to be scared. Besides, we are reading non-fiction.

Did you know that October is a most musical month? Giuseppi Verdi, John Lennon, Vladimir Horowitz, Ralph Vaughn Williams, Dizzy Gillespie and Franz Liszt were all born in the month of October. That covers the whole gamut from opera to jazz to pop to classical!

Your assignment for October is to find a musical read...non-fiction and related to music in some way. If you need to browse the shelves, the Dewey number is 780 or thereabouts. As always, I will be intrigued by what you find.

Happy reading!
