I find it odd how music can influence people so much. For example, make them want ot read books. This happened to me this summer, not in a class where the teacher forced us to listen to something, but in my house where my sister brought home a jimmy buffet cd. It was from the musical, 'don't stop the carnival.' Very interesting music, but I had no idea what is was talking about, so it got me interested in the book _don't stop the carnival_ by herman Wouk <-sp?? I read it, it was okay, but I think I like the CD better. Morgan
