A Fistful of Music
Music Newsletter for the Hiram College Library Community
Issue #105, February 2014
Entering February, we are weary of winter and looking for any signs of good weather. In the meantime, we have signs of good music. This month we have added our usual eclectic assortment of styles, from bluegrass to Bach (but not the one you think), Latin rap, techno, Tongan dance music, Japanese violin concertos, and some folks named Hildegard, Chirps, Tyrone, and Wilhelm. Any comments, questions or demands can be sent to Jeff Wanser, [email protected]. We'll make more.
