Biographie de l'auteur

Michael A.J. Sardo, age 71, listened to classical music, even as a teen in Brooklyn, N.Y. Realizing he had no musical talent didn't deter him from appreciating serious music. He enjoys chamber music, especially string quartets. Albinoni, Bach, Corelli, Pachelbel, Purcell, Scarlatti, Telemann, and Vivaldi are just a few of his favorite Baroque Composers.
