in

By Mary Raynor

Go to catalog

This family of pigs form a musical band, but soon realize they need help with the larger instruments. So, the Pigs advertise for a sousaphone player. Readers will become suspicious far sooner than do the musicians when a hairy, long-nosed creature who hides behind her instrument case offers to play for free. JE Fic Ray

Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey

Girls are for working in the kitchen, mending nets, keeping the house clean and tending the sick and the children. That’s all, and that’s enough as far as Yanus, Sea Holder of Half-Circle Sea Hold is concerned. His young daughter Menolly may –think- she has some musical talent, but that’s not a girl’s proper place. Never mind that Petiron, the old Harper, thought she had a real gift and taught her what he could. The daughter of a lord has an established place, and all her twiddlings on the harp won’t change that.

The shift from poetry to song writing was a necessary one for Brady Earnhart. He describes poetry as "too solitary a business," in which one writes alone, sends the piece off to a literary magazine, and then eventually receives a simple rejection or acceptance on a slip of paper.
