Friday's Feline Filosophy

As Albert Schweitzer said, "there are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats." You know where to find the cat, but did you know that all Hofstra students also have access to music online . . . for free???

If not, then check out the Naxos Music Library available through Axinn Library's Research Databases (you will be prompted to log into the portal.) There is a wide range of genre's from classical to blues to pop and rock. You might even discover something new . . . like Rossini's Duetto buffo di due gatti (The Cats' Duet). The lyrics are sublime.

Martin-Smith, Penelope - soprano
Stowe, Sara - soprano
