Review:

"'Ms. Crawford, who has spent much of her working life teaching and making music in Southern California, brings a physical familiarity to her narrative and a keen eye for poignant detail... A Windfall of Musicians is valuable for its account of how the West became a cultural force in America, a rising counterweight to the tradition-stifled East.' (Norman Lebrecht, Wall Street Journal) 'An important contribution... the legacy of these survivors transcends their life stories and continues to shape the cultural landscape to this day.' (Jonathan Kirsch, Los Angeles Times)"
