A riveting work that continues to probe the Kennedy assassinations
by the author of Tiger In The Rain, who was told by Lee Harvey
Oswald that president Kennedy was to be assassinated two months
before he was killed in Dallas, Texas. The author tears away the
veneer of speculative assumption and tells what really happened on
that fateful day in Dallas when "they" killed a President, and then
murdered his "kid brother," Bobby Kennedy, five years later in a
kitchen pantry in Los Angeles. The author reveals the true
relationship between the First Lady Jackie and the President John
Kennedy. The fabricated image of "Camelot on the Potomac" is
stripped aware with bare-essence of fact. The author being the only
remaining person alive with personal knowledge of fact, blows out
the smoke, shatters the mirrors and exposes the corruption,
illuminating in the light of day, the crime of the 20th century.

Paul Marie Thodore Vincent d'Indy (1851-1931), was a composer and
teacher. He initially read law and then moved to music. He studied
under Csar Franck at the Conservatoire de Paris. He co-founded the
Schola Cantorum in 1894.
(Amadeus). Violinist and educator Efrem Zimbalist (1890-1985) led a
legendary life in music in an age of violin legends. Of the
dazzling stars to emerge from the Russian School at the beginning
of the 20th century, Zimbalist earned a special place. David
Oistrakh compared him to Heifetz: "While Heifetz conquered by sheer
brilliance, Zimbalist captivated people by appealing to profound
mysteries of heart and soul." Zimbalist was also one of the
century's great teachers, for 40 years devoting himself to the
renowned Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, serving as its
director from 1941 to 1968. His was a remarkable journey,
fortunately recounted in hundreds of hours of taped interviews with
author and Curtis Institute student Roy Malan, longtime
concertmaster of the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra. Malan then
waited nearly a decade after Zimbalist's death before seeking
publication, so that the story could be told in its entirety. This
definitive biography of the world's first globe-trotting virtuoso
also includes a discography and a list of Zimbalist's students.

In this compelling memoir that spans a musician's incredible ride
through fifty-four years of life, Donald Darcy provides a glimpse
into his journey through a world of music, drugs, and alcoholism,
ultimately illustrating that recovery is possible for anyone with a
desire to change.
A professional singer and songwriter, Donald details his life
during the post-war modulation of the late 1950s, the turbulent
1960s, the drug-soaked 1970s and 1980s, and finally, the
introspective 1990s that he has nicknamed "The Age of Recovery." As
he shares the process of how he became addicted to alcohol and
drugs, Donald chronicles his once-in-a-lifetime experiences that
transported him from Carnegie Hall to Monterey Pop and beyond while
educating others about the telltale symptoms of addiction. As he
explains how he embraced a spiritual awakening and his subsequent
recovery, Donald also shares his opinions about drug addiction,
treatment, and genetic dispositions that may cause addiction.
"Blues to Blood" illuminates the path of addiction by providing
a self-disclosing, real-life story that offers an in-depth
understanding for alcoholics, drug addicts, parents, or friends
about the plight of addiction, the destruction it leaves in its
path, and the inner-peace that recovery brings.
This is a true story about real events about people that have made
something from nothing . About having a dream and turning it into
reality .
I am Tommy Lee, born Thomas Lee Bass in Athens, Greece, on October
3, 1962, and raised in a suburb of California by an American father
and a Greek mother. At seventeen, I joined Motley Crue and we
became one of the baddest-ass rock bands in history. We sold over
40 million albums, we wreaked havoc, we scared parents, and we
titillated too many fathers' daughters. I've been married three
times: once for just a few days to a Penthouse Pet, for seven years
to Heather Locklear, and then for five years to Pamela Anderson,
with whom I have two beautiful sons. I've gotten into a lot of
fights and I've been to jail a few times.
But this book isn't your typical journey in a straight line from
day one to day now. I'm more interested in revealing what's most
important about my life, like how I cook my steaks; what I think of
the tabloids, the truth, my ex-wives, my ex-band, my music; and
what an innocent observer might find hanging around my house any
given Sunday. You'll get plenty of facts and I'll tell you a story,
but my real mission here is to paint you a picture of my life. I
want to show you how my memories smell.
I'd like to get into it now, so please take your seats. I advise
you to keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times. If you
have a pacemaker, a heart condition, or if you are pregnant or too
damn short to reach the safety bar, I ask that you turn back
immediately. Those with weak stomachs, strict morals, or chronic
indigestion should put the book down now. For the rest of you,
there's one truth that's real across the board: What you send out
is what you get back. Send out the good, people, and it will come
back to you. There's another thing I've learned over the years, in
court, in fights, and in arguments with people I love: There isn't
one truth, there are many. This book is my truth.
Herb Hicks is an artist who understands the fear behind painting
a self-portrait but who also appreciates that a candid recounting
of events in life can provide an emotional catharsis. It is with
this theory in mind that he shares his fascinating personal
experiences and insight into his views as he recalls a unique
journey through a creative life filled with adventures and
misadventures.
In his memoir, Hicks begins with remembrances from his childhood
growing up in North Dakota, where he emulated his cowboy heroes by
riding a pretend horse, wearing real bearskin chaps, and firing a
Red Ryder BB gun at imaginary desperadoes. As he matured, he found
a passion for music, formed his own combo, and began traveling to
and from gigs that took him from North Dakota to Montana and
beyond. Motivated by his love for music, Hicks eventually landed in
California, where he began playing professionally and found a new
passion as a visual artist-a discovery that leads him down an
unforgettable path, questioning his challenges, choices, chances,
and changes.
"To and from Gigs" is the intimate memoir of a musician, artist,
and teacher who embarked on a lifelong search to find his better
self.
