SNIPPETS (bits and pieces of love and life) by CAROLE, written in short chapters for picking up, reading a bit, and setting down, is one you will enjoy so much that you will be reluctant to set it down. The inspirational story of the love and life of Carole and John, her husband, who both view his Parkinson's Disease as just another facet of daily living, is told in vignettes of themselves and of their families, friends, homes, and animals. The witty, poignant sketches will cause you to laugh, cry, empathize, wonder, think, or feel the Snippet refers to you or someone you know. Her writing style scrambles together those of Erma Bombeck, Andy Rooney, and James Joyce. The book describes the couple's real life experience as their numerous gray hairs, wrinkles and bruises from stress, heartaches, headaches, accidents, diseases, and their working, dancing, playing, and laughing together will attest. Some of Carole's life before meeting John is revealed as she chats about a Perfect Family, Afraid, Running Away, A Single Stitch, Skates, Periwinkle Soup, Psychic, Kidnapping, Long Hair, Hurricanes, Bassoons, Blue Lips, and other topics. fascinating

Christy Moore is in every sense Ireland's folk hero. Mentor to a whole generation of Irish musicians, he holds a unique place in musical history. In l992 he broke all attendance records during 12 packed nights at the Point in Dublin. In the UK he fills concert halls around the country. In l997 he announced that he was taking an extended break from touring and recording. It was headline news in Ireland. So was his comeback which began in l999. Set to be an enormous best-seller, his autobiography marries both songs and memories. Around 250 of his favourite lyrics are accompanied by his memories around the song itself and his life. Each entry is fresh, direct, honest and spontaneous - like the most intimate diary. Through it he charts his life from drunk to sober, bar-room guitar player to international singer-songwriter.

Tom enjoyed his job as a postman but what he wanted more was to play the piano in a big band, that is until war breaks out and he joins up to fight at the Front. Surviving a gas attack, he returns home to find life will never be the same, his dream of becoming a big star fades away as he had to compete with new musical styles, technology and the depression. As well as fighting against his war injuries, he also loses people most dear to him. Life doesn't seem worth going on with.

War doesn't just kill people; it ruins the lives of those who survive

A general observation of the people of Britain, in particular a small section of the population known as chavs, in pictoral form along with a brief description

Many books about bands just give the big bands but this book will hopefully fill in some of the gaps. It is about the lesser-known bands that never make it to the big books and so they now have their own book. It is based on the authors' own record collection and aims to give a brief description and history of each band and its members. Included in the description is a list of known recordings released by each band.
