A Fistful of Music
Music Newsletter for the Hiram College Library Community
January 2015
With a new year comes a new batch of music, and as you can imagine, our batch is as
eclectic as any you might find. This month we have an assortment of roots rockers, sax
players, singers, swingers, organists, local musicians, and giant slabs of classical music of
every variety. Any comments, questions or demands can be sent to Jeff Wanser,
wanserjc@hiram.edu. We'll make more.
