	THE GREATNESS OF CRETAN MUSIC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		People compose music, but when this music becomes particular to a remote geographical location, particularly when such location is historically significant, owing to the actions of its inhabitants through the centuries, then the human factor merges with the location itself.
		The origins of music in Crete, and Greece in general, is associated in myth with the birth of the father of gods, Zeus, on Crete.
		Although Cretan music was originally influenced by its contacts with eastern cultures, from 13th century onwards a new wave of musical trends of western origin established a foothold on the island as a more positive consequence of Latin expansionism.

	Sound Bytes music review: Nonie Crete.
		As a songwriter, Crete captures the characteristic spirit of Irish music, the essence that makes it both vital and unique, so that, while her songs are written in Ontario, they are unmistakably Irish.
		Where the music before was clearly folky, this new release has moved forward and expanded so that, while still folk-music, it has a broader, more universal sense to it and a more pop sensibility.
		If Nonie Crete has grown this much in just one year, expect her to be an influential force in Canadian folk music for years to come.

	Sound Bytes music review: Nonie Crete.
		Her lyrics are tightly written gems of the storyteller's art, carrying the listener in and out of a range of personal worlds and emotions.
		This impression is certainly reinforced by her use of arrangements and instrumentation that echo the European and Mediterranean pop music of thirty or forty years ago.
		While she appears to be presenting herself as a folk singer, Crete is at her best when she sings the blues.
