Wicked Good Music Hour 11/15/14

Host Matt Murphy welcomed Maine author and historian Jennifer Wixson to discuss legendary Oxford Hills area music teacher Bess Klain. Wixson shared stories of this inspirational teacher as well as recordings of Miss Klain playing and singing some tunes on her Steinway grand piano. The recording was done by the Oxford Hills Oral History Project in 1990 when Miss Klain was 88 years old. This program was essentially a very nice tribute to a wonderful person and inspiring teacher. Wixson is the author of the popular Sovereign Series of novels, with Maine as the setting, one of whose most beloved characters is based in part on Bess Klain.
