Scattered in archives and historical societies across the United States are hundreds of volumes of manuscript music, copied by hand by eighteenth-century amateurs. Often overlooked, amateur music making played a key role in the construction of gender, class, race, and nation in the post-revolution years of the United States. These early Americans, seeking ways to present themselves as genteel, erudite, and pious, saw copying music by hand and performing it in intimate social groups as a way to make themselvescode--/codeand their new nationcode--/codeappear culturally sophisticated.

Following a select group of amateur musicians, Cultivated by Hand makes the case that amateur music making was both consequential to American culture of the eighteenth century and aligned with other forms of self-fashioning. This interdisciplinary study explores the social and material practices of amateur music making, analyzing the materiality of manuscripts, tracing the lives of individual musicians, and uncovering their musical tastes and sensibilities. Author Glenda Goodman explores highly personal yet often denigrated experiences of musically "accomplished" female amateurs in particular, who grappled with finding a meaningful place in their lives for music. Revealing the presence of these unacknowledged subjects in music history, Cultivated by Hand reclaims the importance of such work and presents a class of musicians whose labors should be taken into account.

So comfy
Solid solid solid shoe. The value for the money you spend is quick to be noticed. Working in a dental office, I’m on my feet a lot and all of these brands who say they were made by nurses blah blah blah are liars. These were finally the shoes that didn’t make my ankles or feet sore. They take shock absorption so smoothly, and allow me to feel supported and comfortable. Wearing them all day isn’t a chore and honestly made me realize I was less grumpy because I was much more comfortable
