Although music has been a family tradition in the Sutton clan for
generations, and I received formal training very early on, it was my
third grade classroom teacher, dear old Mrs. Jett, that first, and quite
accidentally turned me on to CM.
She was a fine visual artist, and once gave us a project to paint abstracts
to excerpts from great works of music. I was a lousy painter, but I
fell in love with the music.
Fortunately for me, our small town public library had a huge classical
record collection that circulated to the public, and it was there that
I learned to love the great works of the repertoire. Viva Andrew Carnegie,
who first saw to it that small towns in this country had libraries. He,
in a way, helped launch my career.
