Us Conductors

It was certainly a treat to enjoy Susan's fireplace on a cold night in February.  But will we all be expected to supply embroidered cocktail napkins too?  Anyway, thank you Susan for all.  Us readers do like to get together at your house.

Here is Clara Rockmore's haunting version of Summertime as she played it on Leon's theremin.

Here's the link to the herb dip recipe we all enjoyed.

A reminder that next month we'll be at Jo's (March 19th) talking about All My Puny Sorrows by Miriam Toews.

Other books of note:

• The Bosnia List by Kenan Trebincevic
• A Path Appears by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn
• Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement
• Girl Runner by Carrie Snyder
• City of Women by David R. Gillham
• Train to Nowhere by Colleen Bradford Krantz or was it one with the same title by Kay Bratt? My notes are sketchy and my memory is too. 
• The Dog by Jack Livings

There's still time to get to the Piano Extravaganza which started on February 4th and runs to the 14th.
