As the Worm Turns Book Group
The As the Worm Turns Book Group will discuss The Christmas of the Phonograph Records: A Recollection by Mari Sandoz (University of Nebraska Press, $6.95). Sandoz tells of a long-ago Christmas in western Nebraska when her father's house was filled with good music. Old Jules had ordered an Edison phonograph and boxes of cylinder records from the East, paying for them with an inheritance and ignoring debts, to the chagrin of his long-suffering wife. But the entire family soon entered into the holiday spirit as neighbors arrived to feast and dance and enjoy musical selections ranging from Lucia di Lammermoor to Casey at the Telephone. Even old enmities dissolved under the spell, for, as Old Jules said, "The music is for everybody." Lee Myers will facilitate the discussion. Space is limited, so please call to reserve your place.
