Just finished Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, which of course was the inspiration for the hit Broadway show. Truly a fascinating life, where sometimes fact is stranger than fiction. It makes one wonder what might have happened had Hamilton's life not been cut short.
This quote stood out to me:
"His faith in Americans never quite matched his faith in America itself." It was like he had a crystal ball.

To celebrate the paperback release, we took it on a trip to fab & groovy Thorne Records, our close neighbours and a superb Indie vinyl store.
A total delight, packed with musical memory nuggets

I discovered a book about 8 #FemaleComposers including 5 I wasn't aware of before: https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2025/04/eight-women.html #bookReview #ClassicalMusic #composers #biography #women
