"And They All Sang", Studs Terkel's new book is a great exercise in reading about excellence in musicians, and their extraordinary efforts (Segovia practiced 5 hours a day
into his eighties). It is all inspiring (well, except for the interview with Bob Dylan where
he lies over and over again about his llife).   There aren't many books that have Birgit Nillson and Janis Joplin together!

Jean Ritchie (kytrad hereabouts) gives a lovely interview in the book.
