We're going to do this tribute in St Ann's Church in Brooklyn - a
wonderful space. Oh, by the way, we've been contacted by Tim
Buckley's son, Jeff. Touched By Grace is an up-close-and-personal
account by the legendary guitarist and songwriter Gary Lucas of the
time he spent with his friend and collaborator, Jeff Buckley,
during Jeff's early days in New York City. It describes their
magical performance together at the Greetings From Tim Buckley
concert at the Church of St Ann in 1991 - the event that first
introduced Jeff to the world at large; the creation of their songs
'Mojo Pin' and 'Grace,' which started life as guitar instrumentals
by Gary and would later become integral to Jeff's debut album,
Grace; and their plan to take on the world together in Gary's band
Gods and Monsters. Just as the band was set to soar, however, Jeff
pulled the plug, opting instead to sign a solo deal with Columbia
Records - the very label that had recently cut short its recording
contract with the original incarnation of Gods and Monsters. In
this fascinating, revelatory new book, Gary Lucas writes with
vivid, heartfelt honesty about the highs and lows of this
all-too-brief musical union, from his first meeting with Jeff
through to the devastating phone call from an MTV journalist with
news of Jeff's disappearance in the Mississippi River. Touched By
Grace is an eye-opening tale of music, passion, betrayal, and more.
A murder in the family makes it personal. What slows down the chase
is being caught between a small change robbery and a shot from a
small caliber handgun that ends with debilitating consequences for
Willam. Against everyone's best advice, he is up and about too
soon, but not soon enough for Willam, as the man he now knows is
the killer stays just out of reach. Enter the Temp business, where
the killer has a past, sidekicking with someone who has a talent
for making temps work for more than daily pay. Under the cover of a
day laborer, Willam's plan is to work and wait. But someone else
has a creative plan, too. And yet another person thinks he's the
one with a plan. Now there are too damn many people who want to
temp in Willam's P.I. shoes and he's had enough. After all, there
can only be one Temp Like Me. Or maybe . . .
