Best of the Book Nook: 'Island Boyz' by Graham Salisbury

Contributed

Middle school boys can be reluctant readers. In 2002 I did my only
interview with Graham Salisbury, a writer who aspired to turn some of
those reluctant readers into more avid ones.

Shane Fontayne "What Nature Intended"

(Original recording made in 2003)

We had a bit of extra time to fill so I dusted off my 2003 interview with the guitarist Shane Fontayne. He played some of his music for us that day. If you have never heard of him you might be surprised to learn about his musical background.
