Crossingham's intent is to encourage young people to pursue music because 'in each of us exists a weird little music animal waiting to be discovered.'

I let the seller know that the item received was a cook book that was offered as a free item with the Sourcebook for Aphasia that I ordered. This is being ignored, the tracking number is for the cookbook. I have not received the book that I paid for which is Sourcebook for Aphasia.
