Sadly, the music collection is closed until January 2nd. So the resolution will have to wait until the new year. <BR/><BR/>Why do they insist on closing the library on the few days when I have time to go there and choose books? The main library was finally open yesterday for the first time in a week. I spent a little too much time over the holiday using their online catalog to plan my attack.radianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03718179006284676406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375681131276548542.post-64145426686559214642007-12-27T09:37:00.000+00:002007-12-27T09:37:00.000+00:00Ooops...

"Liked" is not the right word: it made resonate something very personal in me, but that's another story, as they say. In the past few days I happened stumbling in it in my cluttered library, so I got curious about the author. Did she wrote anything else? Who is she? I more or less followed your trail through the Internet, Wikipedia, online newspapers, up to your blog.<BR/><BR/>But I digress even before I begin. Your New Year resolution is very good, and it might become even more interesting if you also look for some information about Nancarrow's life. To whet your appetite, let me just tell you that he was a friend of actress Hedy Lamarr, and together they developed a method to radio-control torpedoes!Daniele A.
