Something for Everyone

I'm a jazz pianist. All the musicians I know who have read this book think highly of it, and I'm no exception.

It doesn't pretend to be an encyclopedia of everything jazz. It's a study of the nature of jazz improvisation, based upon the author's own experience as a trumpet player and his interviews with (then) living jazz musicians about their personal experiences and recollections.

The "story" is an enlightening one, even to someone like me, who has been a musician for a half century and met some of the people in the book. For jazz lovers and people who just want some insight into this wondrous genre, it's an absorbing read.

For practicing musicians, music students, and anyone else who knows at least some music theory, it's invaluable for its many detailed musical examples, the like of which I've seen nowhere else in any publication.

There's something in this book for everyone who wants to know more about the creative process in jazz.

Lessons From My Parents provides the reader with a chance to walk into the past and remember the lessons we have gleaned by accident, or purposefully. It also offers us a chance to reflect on how we parent, and wonder what lessons our children will remember when they're grown. This is a great gift to share with your mother, your father, and your children. In fact, it is a gift that is for everyone, and anyone. We're all products of a family. This books belongs to all of us. It is a gift filled with love, hope, and a chance to open the floodgates with out own families to share the stories we have stored up inside us. Books that offer a chance for generations to connect are priceless.

I'm impressed by this offering from Familius. This books is a great representative of their goal to help families be happy.

This offering has something for everyone.  My favorite is Kabir's song but the Sun Shines on Everyone has to make every listener smile.

This little gem is a favorite of mine because it offers so much in such a small package.  The art features a wide variety of upcoming and established talent along a broad scale of styles.  Then the art is introduced with these brilliantly written pieces of poetry, which ties all the content together and illustrates how diversity can be a strength.  We have drawings that inspired poetry, and poetry that inspired art; in this wonderfully eclectic book that gives us words to better understand ourselves and the world around us.

This is a brilliant collection of stories and poems. Each one offers a poignant message, sometimes uplifting, sometimes heartbreaking. What is consistent throughout is the command of the language, the eloquent turn of phrase, and the obvious passion behind each tale. There truly is something for everyone in this collection. I was particularly drawn to two stories: the last one, as it reminded me of my own grandfather, and the handbag story, which broke my heart (no mother should have to live through that). The author information at the end of the book was a lovely addition to the piece. I'm looking forward to more from this author.

One of the most important responsibilities we as adults have to future generations is to pass along the knowledge, love and appreciation we have for every kind of music that has touched our lives. Left to the "flavor of the month" marketplace of our times, kids without the richness of our musical enthusiasm are subject to the waves of consumerism and peer opinion alone.

A book like this is not a textbook accounting of minute details, but a collection of short, easily digestible essays on the popular songs we still enjoy during the holiday season -- a season when Bing Crosby, the original Chipmunks and Perry Como are not only cool, but suddenly ubiquitous again.

That's why both books like this, which touch on each song with short brush strokes, and books that delve more deeply into "the good stuff," are important. Everybody knows the songs (hopefully) but few know the background stories. Give this book as a gift and maybe the reader will dig deeper into the music and the artists.

The title of this review is "And now you know the rest of the story" as a nod to Paul Harvey, whose daily radio messages told of eclectic people and often contained surprises as well as inspiration. This book is very much in that style, as are other books in the series.

This creative book, written by a diverse talented group of five, offers short stories, excerpts, essays and poems.  The collection leaves no seed unturned in sprouting a bouquet of emotions and genres making it a delight for every reader.

The book is broken down into six categories. Each category is as delectable as the next. I found the entire book and all the writers appealing.  I especially liked "The Elevator" by Estelle Lipp and the "Butcher and the Blonde" by Nancy Wayman Deutsch.  The poems in the section Poems from the Back Pocket are fresh and enchanting.

This book is for all who would enjoy a sparkle of sunshine in their day. Florida Shorts is a chance to discover the dashing writing abilities of five first rate writers. Well done.

Something for everyone. Written with humor but compassion and authority. Learn how ignorant and/or foolish people can be with wildlife of ALL kinds. Without fear you may find death near. Excellent entertainment provided by a wonderful and fascinating collection of stories that also teach. Unlike any book in this class.

This is a really diverse collection of 22 tales that range from classic science fiction, to fantasy, to horror. It delivers all of the weirdness and adventure promised in the foreword. These stories provide modern renditions of classic story telling. No two are the same, and yet there is an overall cohesiveness in the collection. If you're looking for stories to entertain all types of sci-fi readers, there's something in here for everyone. Especially enjoyable are 'How Pell Left', 'Terms of Use' and 'God's Love'.
