Re: The troubles



Leigh,

John Hammond, the head of the Shepherd School of Music at Rice,
confided to me that more than half of the Rice graduates have never heard
music in their lives.

I find that *very* hard to believe, unless by "music" you mean "classical"
music. While I love that form of music, there is lots of other music that
is intellectually stimulating, including, but not limited to, jazz,
ethnic/folk, bluegrass (as distinguished from "country"), some of the
recent rock, and others. I'll bet almost everybody had been exposed to at
least one of these types.
