Music Appreciation 101

by jess_the_reader
//
66 books

A mash-up of two of the most wonderful things in life books and music! 😌 A collection of non-fiction from biographies, genre histories, and social and pop histories. These are going to be unfortunately skewed toward my taste and those artists who I have knowledge of and/or admire. So recommend me artists you know!! (As long as they aren’t “problematic” ie, Michael Jackson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, etc.)
