Book Reviews

The Inner Game of Music -- Barry Green & W. Timothy Galloway.
The premise of this book is somebody that writes boks about self-improvement & zen in sports can write the same type of book about music.  So I guess it's successful in that the book was written, but I don't know how much it can help someone.

Simon & Garfunkel: The Biography -- Victoria Kingston
I don't really care for the style of this book.  I'm not sure what it is about it, but I just read it to get some  questions answered.  Simon & Garfunkel started playing together as kids & as they started to really grow up the music became the only thing they had in common.  Garfunkel just sang songs & Simon started to get jealous of people associating his songs with Garfunkel.  Still a mystery is why when Simon broke off his music got kinda bad.

Sleep, Two, Three, Four -- John Neufeld
I got this because it's some weird early seventies anti-communist propoganda book by the same guy who did Lisa, Bright & Dark.  It's not as good nor entertaining as I expected.  It's about teenagers against a fascist regime.  By reading this review, you probably already wasted more time on the book than you should have.

What to Listen for in Music -- Aaron Copland
This was originally written in 1939 to help people understand & appreciate new music.  It tells you a little bit about forms & elements in constructing music in the classical field & their histories.  It also suggests if you don't like modern music that means you're not listening to it enough.
