introduction

Kettlbey's, "In Persian Market", was my introduction to classical music at age 10 in my grade 5 music class. It was a pivotal point in my life and over the last 45 years I have continued to enjoy the classics through all heckling from those around me. It is a my way of refreshing the soul. There truely is something almost spiritual in the music. Those who are annoyed......much to my delight....I crank it.
