Dear Bookclub,
Karen's cozy cocoon of a home sweetly enveloped us for our autumn meeting, as tradition dictates. Discussion of Rachel Joyce's "The Music Shop", paused for soup, cornbread and wine, etc., eventually came to a crescendo, around the table of ten, in a well-orchestrated manner.
Martha asked for us to each share the significance of music in our lives which became the most interesting catalyst for appreciating the meaning of music to a family's culture and therefore the shaping of the individual's relationship to music. Discussing the power of music to the emotions, braided us back into Joyce's characters and their stories. The variety of our stories and the variety of the interpretations of our readers to the "Music Shop" stories, played into the enjoyment of all.
Vinyl is very much alive, as represented by our members and the stores peppering San Diego. Check out Cow Records and the familiar sounding personality of the store:
