Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Was there music before the Mississippi Delta? In How to Stay Awake During Anybody's Second Movement: Being a Guide for the Average Music Lover to Concert Going, musicologist David Walden (aka the original Deuteronomy in Cats) jokes readers through the "Booze and Bulbs" (Dionysian and Apollonian modes, get it?) and "Histerical Periods" in European music.
