Jazz and blues, Broadway and American songbook, classical, rock, soul, and R&B--we're music addicts who love to think and write about music almost as much as you enjoy listening to it. This book is a collection of critical, contemplative, and biographical essays on our lives in music. We discuss our favorite concerts, recordings, and even occasional meetings with famous musicians. We believe that a strong love of music, and a desire to continue that love affair, is of paramount importance.
