About This Item
In author's words: But let me describe the music school. I love it here. I is the basement of a huge Baptist church. Golden collection plates rest on table beside me. Girls in their first blush of adolescence, carrying fawn-colored flute cases and pallid folders of music, shuffle by me....from all directions sounds-of pianos, oboes, clarinets-arrive like hints of another world, a world where angels fumble, pause, fumble, and begin again.....
