Larry Sherwood quotes and answers Jon: >Jon Bernard inquires how members of this List came to value CM. A >fair question. In my experience, I would credit two major influences. >The people who raised me saw that I received music lessons. 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. Kevin Sutton
