Description
. . . Ya? wonderful work. Kudos and more kudos to Jack Loeffler for the outstanding labor of love . . . The outstanding photography of Jack Parsons also documents the well-known musicians of New Mexico. . . . What a treat! . . . I highly recommend this book. "La Msica" is superior . . . it has a real acknowledgment that actually gives credit to and the names of living people. . . . "La Msica" is a good way to sing oneself into the new century. "The authors make an important contribution by tracing the history of scholarship of particular songs as well as of Hispano musical culture in general." Fifteen years in the making, this book was well worth the wait . . . This is a must for any complete southwestern library! This survey of Hispanic folk music of the Rio Grande . . . will prove essential to any student of Hispanic music . . . "Fifteen years in the making, this book was well worth the wait . . . This is a 'must' for any complete southwestern library!"
