Half A Million Miles Together
THE KENNEDYS
Text by Christine Gritmon
When someone you've just met is willing to drive
500 miles to meet you at Buddy Holly's grave, you
know you've found a kindred spirit. The Kennedys,
now married, have since recorded twelve albums
together with such diverse influences as litera-
ture, Eastern mysticism and Parisian Impres-
sionist composers. Their poppy folk-rock
sound has been compared to The
Byrds, The Beatles, and The
Beach Boys,..

The Art and Form Of
Sheet Music Evolution
Making
A Note
Of It
"The story behind musical notation runs pretty deep. All those bars and
dots and squigglies might seem simple, but together they can form a
complex language to convey some amazing creative ideas. So next time
you're getting twisted with Bach's counterpoint or slurping up some syrupy
'70s P-Funk, think about the music. Not the sounds you hear, but instead
what's on the sheet that musicians read. Without notation, composers
wouldn't be able to convey the complex ideas required to bring your fa-
vorite tunes to life. Even if you can't read music, you can still thank notation
every day for making this possible"
James Bennett II, WQXR
