essays and political commentary in the form of editorial letters
appearing in the Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise over a period of
12 years. They chronicle the political events of the times, mainly

Most of Shorty's time was spent galloping through fields and
jumping fences. That was the only world he knew and he was quite
content with it.
Then a tragic accident happened, leaving him lame and scarred,
which turned his world upside down. Abandoned, he was left outside,
cold and hungry, feeling sad and lonely. He endured a heartbreaking
and abusive life until it got to the point where he didn't want to
continue this life he was living any more.
It was at that point when a strange man came and rescued Shorty
and took him to a home of a family with children who loved him and
thought he was beautiful, regardless of his scars and lame leg. His
life would now be filled with all kinds of friends, of love,
laughter, sadness and tears. This is the story about Shorty's life
on the farm.
4200 gigs. 250 Film and TV song placements. 30 years in music.
These are some of the bullet points in the resume of
author/musician Bill Cinque. THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF A MARGINALLY
SUCCESSFUL MUSICIAN is an educational and entertaining look at the
world of music.
Honest, insightful and often humorously brutal, Cinque speaks
to the beginner, the seasoned pro, and the non-musician "civilian"
in a unique and refreshing voice about the rehearsals, recordings
and rejections in the life of a self-described "blue collar,
working class musician."
Spanning seven decades from his 1940s childhood in Rochester,
New York, to his retirement in Southern California, "Sleeping with
Lumbago" documents the events and experiences of author Sam R.
Culotta's life. He recalls his Catholic school days, his family's
migration west, his teens, his military service, and, most notably,
the dynamics of his Sicilian-American family.
With his signature sardonic wit and good-natured criticism, he
takes on nuns, schoolmates, friends, and neighbors as well as more
than a few professions, religious institutions, social conventions
and, of course, himself. In the story "And Then There Were Two,"
Culotta discusses the unusual and embarrassing discovery made
during a physical exam at his Catholic elementary school when he
was in sixth grade. "Caution: Friends May Be Dangerous to Your
Health" describes a narrow escape from injury, accident, and mayhem
when his buddy Don pulls a dangerous stunt in his 1949 Mercury.
"Sleeping with Lumbago" presents a collection of humorous
personal essays that document the unexceptional life of an
unexceptional man with an exceptional amount of wit and
discontent.
A book about absolutely nothing at all. A novel that isn't about
any subject at all including fiction, nonfiction, fantasy or
anything else that could be written about. This book is solely for
entertainment and a conversation piece. Please do not take it
seriously.
"The Devil's Dictionary," by Ambrose Bierce, is a satirical book
first published in 1911. It offers reinterpretations of terms in
the English language which lampoon cant and political double-talk.
"The Devil's Dictionary" has inspired many imitations both in its
day and more recently. Recent examples include "The Computer
Contradictionary" and "The Devil's Dictionary X."
More wit and humor from the author of "Over the Hill Without a
Paddle: And Other Signs of Confusion in a New Millennium," This
time he gives us his skewed take and observations on everything
with titles from A to Z - except for nine letters in between that
apparently aren't that funny - and including the numbers One, Two,
Three, and the words First and Second. Check it out. Among the
subjects that catch his fancy are wives, husbands, children,
grandchildren, doctors, hornets, birds, ants, dogs, morticians and
sex. He pitches shows to TV programmers, points out a shortcut to
young men in the back seats of cars, and scrutinizes both Family
Jewels and Amazon Undies. All of which - and more - go to prove
that even someone who has inched his way over the hill and then
rolled down the other side can still find plenty to look at if he
just lands facing up.
