In 1992, four itinerant gray haired American musicians heading to Los Angeles are detoured by a pot seeking excursion into Mexico. Cramped into a single small jail cell they are imprisoned in a seemingly diabolical scheme, by a makeshift small town Comisario (Chief of Police) and held for four months without a clue or reason for their prolonged confinement, without trial or judgment. Eventually the four musicians learn that the Comisario has plans for fulfilling a personal aspiration, for creating an American styled Big Band, comprised of the town's uncommonly musically gifted young teenagers. The Comisario's, dream band might become a reality if he was able to coerce or convince the captive quartet into teaching the kids to play band instruments, and take them on the road to fame. The four musicians couldn't imagine such a thing as possible. They flat-out refused the idea and overture... after which the Comisario sets the captives free. While relishing their first day of renewed liberty they realized that they are totally destitute, with no hope for work and not enough money to get them back to Los Angeles, California. Reluctantly they return to the impoverished little pueblo of San Pedro, Mexico to give the Comisario's vision a chance... and to endure life, such as it might be, in a place where they would at least be sheltered, fed and no longer held as prisoners. In time... The Comisario's Band was departing for their first engagement on-the-road. During that prep time the inherent talents of the kids flourished. Their enthusiastic personalities are divulged and through flashbacks the characterizations of the four maestros, the Comisario and their respective loves and lives are disclosed. Within just a few short years the perseverance of the Comisario the mastery of the maestros and the resilience of the young musicians from a rag-tag Mexican community, participate in and are witness to the making of a seemingly impossible dream come true.

In 1958, as the "Cold War" between the former Soviet Union and the United States was escalating, the United States Air Force contracted eight young female musicians to entertain three thousand secluded men stationed at the most isolated American military base in the world, Thule Air Force Base, Greenland. Located inside the Arctic Circle, Thule Air Force Base lies only nine hundred forty seven miles from the North Pole. The base was built as a strategic component of the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System, composed of powerful radar systems stretching across Alaska, Canada and Greenland. The installations were constructed to detect long range bombers and ballistic missiles launched from the Soviet Union, over the Arctic region, into the Western hemisphere. Arriving at Thule, the "Girls" are ordered 'off limits' to all male personnel. Being constantly guarded by military police and confined to restricted minimal housing, the young women are demoralized and apprehensive. When the greatly outnumbered women realize they are not in danger from the "men" they are expected to entertain, the dissimilar musicians join forces determined to provide themselves with male companionship for the two month engagement at Thule. The pursuit and success of this unusual undertaking and the manner in which the girls achieve it, under extremely adverse circumstances, is the spirit of this story.Danger from deadly radiation, an Arctic blizzard, a Red Alert and other unpredictable challenging episodes and relationships, teach the young musicians much about themselves, each other and the men whose lives they share for a few short weeks in the land of the midnight sun. The story reveals how, with dedication to a 'meaningful cause', it's possible to overcome cultural, social and artistic musical differences. Comical episodes and treacherous Arctic adventures balance out the sum and substance of this work. "The Thule Girls" is fiction, fabricated from real life people experiences.
