Book excerpt: Success in Country Music doesn’t come easy. Having talent is only the beginning. Patience, persistence, temperament, and tenacity are all required, and sometimes getting just the right break. Kyle Clifford (KC) Brooks is a musician in his mid-20s working hard to make his way in the Nashville music scene. His love of music began at an early age with the piano and guitar but quickly grew to the banjo, then violin, accordion, cello, and any other instrument he picked up. Throughout his life, being of small stature, even petite, he was often teased that his looks were wasted on a boy, he was too pretty to be a boy, or how many girls were jealous of his cute looks. While he sometimes struggled with the comments, he did not let them slow down his pursuit of his music. Katherine Christine (KC) Brooks is a country music musician from Austin who has just had her big break, and her career is beginning to take off. Releasing songs she wrote, and performing copies of other classics, she is off and running on her first tour. The last stop on her tour is in Nashville where a local radio station is running a KC Brooks lookalike contest inviting local musicians to submit a video of them singing one of her songs. When his sister dares him, along with support from his family, Kyle (KC) agrees to enter the radio station contest. The radio stations reaction is to say they believe the audition video is too good, could be a fraud, and they demand a meeting. Imagine their surprise when not only does he attend the meeting, but they find out he is a guy. Eventually, Kyle’s entry stands, he does win the contest, and is invited to meet Katherine (KC) before her Nashville show. A relationship develops, they write songs, create music, and build a successful career, but it is not without conflict and barriers. But together, they fight their way through it all to a very happy ending. It’s Serendipity.

Download or read book Ticker written by Mimi Swartz and published by Crown. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It wasn’t supposed to be this hard. If America could send a man to the moon, shouldn’t the best surgeons in the world be able to build an artificial heart? In Ticker, Texas Monthly executive editor and two time National Magazine Award winner Mimi Swartz shows just how complex and difficult it can be to replicate one of nature’s greatest creations. Part investigative journalism, part medical mystery, Ticker is a dazzling story of modern innovation, recounting fifty years of false starts, abysmal failures and miraculous triumphs, as experienced by one the world’s foremost heart surgeons, O.H. “Bud” Frazier, who has given his life to saving the un-savable. His journey takes him from a small town in west Texas to one of the country’s most prestigious medical institutions, The Texas Heart Institute, from the halls of Congress to the animal laboratories where calves are fitted with new heart designs. The roadblocks to success —medical setbacks, technological shortcomings, government regulations – are immense. Still, Bud and his associates persist, finding inspiration in the unlikeliest of places. A field beside the Nile irrigated by an Archimedes screw. A hardware store in Brisbane, Australia. A seedy bar on the wrong side of Houston. Until post WWII, heart surgery did not exist. Ticker provides a riveting history of the pioneers who gave their all to the courageous process of cutting into the only organ humans cannot live without. Heart surgeons Michael DeBakey and Denton Cooley, whose feud dominated the dramatic beginnings of heart surgery. Christian Barnaard, who changed the world overnight by performing the first heart transplant. Inventor Robert Jarvik, whose artificial heart made patient Barney Clark a worldwide symbol of both the brilliant promise of technology and the devastating evils of experimentation run amuck. Rich in supporting players, Ticker introduces us to Bud’s brilliant colleagues in his quixotic quest to develop an artificial heart: Billy Cohn, the heart surgeon and inventor who devotes his spare time to the pursuit of magic and music; Daniel Timms, the Brisbane biomedical engineer whose design of a lightweight, pulseless heart with but a single moving part offers a new way forward. And, as government money dries up, the unlikeliest of backers, Houston’s furniture king, Mattress Mack. In a sweeping narrative of one man’s obsession, Swartz raises some of the hardest questions of the human condition. What are the tradeoffs of medical progress? What is the cost, in suffering and resources, of offering patients a few more months, or years of life? Must science do harm to do good? Ticker takes us on an unforgettable journey into the power and mystery of the human heart.
