Chambers / Berlin / Fiuczynski / Lavitz: Boston T Party
by Woodrow Wilkins

Two Interpreters of the Great American Songbook
by Jim Santella
It doesn't take a degree in music to be able to determine whether you'll like a singer or not. Just listen. It's a natural form of communication that's been in use since before civilization.
