[JPL] Wynton's Book

[Jae Sinnett]

Tom, I also think this book would make an excellent pledge premium for the fundraisers. I've already asked our station to look into it for the spring drive. I believe it would do very well. I've always felt more would embrace this music if they understood it and this is a wonderful educational and accessible tool for them to learn...from someone they know. Just a thought.
