You'd enjoy it if you already like the music.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-15496198064252515532012-08-30T22:19:32.248-05:002012-08-30T22:19:32.248-05:00Jane,

The music certainly added to it!Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-76313043858506141432012-08-30T20:46:37.377-05:002012-08-30T20:46:37.377-05:00I enjoy listening to the blues but don't know ...I enjoy listening to the blues but don't know anything about the musicians or the music - this sounds like a book that would help change that.

But, I persevered, and got so caught up that I found that blues station to use as background. It was perfect. I could actually listen to some of the musicians I was reading about. Naturally, some were fictional, but there were a number of actual musicians included in the book.

Some of those books I've read; some I hope to get to, and some I know I'm not going to read, but I'll give them away. It's a mish mash. But, those piles are in order by the alphabet, so I can at least locate what I'm looking for! I am a librarian.

With that said, I love to read a book that broadens my knowledge and entertains at the same time. While this is definitely outside the box for me, it sounds like a book worth checking out. Thanks for the great review!Jane Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-73768168176375456812012-08-30T11:00:10.624-05:002012-08-30T11:00:10.624-05:00Less,

Maybe you have read them and that is the<br />give away stack. <br />Pretty fur babies. <br />CharlotteCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746340822577008970noreply@blogger.com
