The Woman Behind the Music

English professor Tina Klein admits that music is not as much of a passion for her as novels or films; she tends to enjoy songs that she can relate to "something else - a story or an image or a strong feeling." She loves film soundtracks, particularly those from Bollywood, for their lasting quality, as well as operas by Puccini and Mascagni for their cathartic nature. Her kids enjoy the Merle Haggard song, and Frank Sinatra is a sentimental favorite. Finally, the Johnny "Guitar" Watson song "Witchcraft" reminds her of a special moment in her life. - Bill Falor
