      I dedicate this book to the memory of my late

      Irish grandmother, Margaret O’Connor née

      Walsh, who gave me so much in life with her

      sense of humor, her ability to tell a good story,

      and most of all, her unconditional love.

      Acknowledgments

      First, I am grateful to Kenneth Webster, an accomplished educator, for his advice, encouragement, and unwavering love during the writing of this book.

      I also thank Sharon Carter (Eichenberger) and Ike Eichenberger, two experienced music teachers and grandparents, for their critical reading of the manuscript.

      I am grateful to Karen Tucker who edited the manuscript, thereby greatly improving it, and to Peg McClure for her fine illustrations.

      Finally, I truly appreciate the many loving grandparents and their grandchildren whom I have known and observed over the course of a lifetime.
