Paul Krzywicki's Book

[hbcrandy]

I just received my copy of a new book by my major tuba teacher, Paul Krzywicki. It is entitled, "From Paderewski to Penderecki, The Polish Musician in Philadelphia". For those interested in a copy, it can be purchased from the publisher at http://www.lulu.com/shop/paul-krzywicki ... 09211.html It is a biographical history of the contributions of Polish musicians to the rich musical heritage of the city.

I have started to read this book. It is quite well written and easy to read. I recommend it to all.

If my late fathers' social club actually had books like this in it, instead of bookies, it may not have gotten raided last week...

The Polish Library Association in Wilmington, which was raided by FBI and police Tuesday morning, was reopened Wednesday, and people were seen coming and going from the building on South Van Buren Street.

One man, who exited the building and then re-entered it Wednesday afternoon, said the private building was open but declined to comment further. Knocks at the door went unanswered Wednesday, but music could be heard inside the building.

Neighbors who live on the 400 block of S. Van Buren St. say they're not surprised people are back inside the building. Older men, many described in their 70s by neighbors, frequent the building and "drink all kinds of stuff," said a woman who lives on the block. She declined to give her name.

The woman witnessed at least 20 agents and police officers on the block Tuesday carrying what appeared to be gambling machines and brown bags out of the building. They were there nearly all day, she said.
