Download or read book Scratching the Horizon written by Izzy Paskowitz and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scratching the Horizon presents a bitchin' love letter to sand and sea, and a spirited inside account of life with the "first family" of American surfing. In 1956, Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz stepped away from a successful medical practice and began a lifelong surfing odyssey that grew to include his wife Juliette, and their nine children. Together, the Paskowitz clan lived a vagabonding bohemian existence, eschewing material possessions in favor of intangible riches like health and good cheer . . . all the while careening along the world's coastlines in search of the perfect wave. In Scratching the Horizon, Izzy Paskowitz looks back at his unusual upbringing, and his lifelong passion for the sport that carries his family's stamp. As the fourth-oldest child in a family of inveterate surfers, rock stars, and beach bums, he is uniquely qualified to shine a light on a childhood that has come to symbolize the surfing credo, a reckless young adulthood that nearly cost him his sanity, and a maturing sense of self and purpose that allows him to lift others on the back of his experience. As the father of a son with autism and the founder of "Surfers Healing," a foundation devoted to expanding the horizons of children with autism through surfing, Paskowitz has found a way to connect the surreal aspects of his childhood to the harsh realities of adulthood, and he shares these discoveries in this wickedly entertaining and transforming memoir.
Download or read book Meeting Jimmie Rodgers written by Barry Mazor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Meeting Jimmie Rodgers, the first book to explore the deep legacy of "The Singing Brakeman" from a twenty-first century perspective, Barry Mazor offers a lively look at Rodgers' career, tracing his rise from working-class obscurity to the pinnacle of renown that came with such hits as "Blue Yodel" and "In the Jailhouse Now." As Mazor shows, Rodgers brought emotional clarity and a unique sense of narrative drama to every song he performed, whether tough or sentimental, comic or sad. His wistful singing, falsetto yodels, bold flat-picking guitar style, and sometimes censorable themes--sex, crime, and other edgy topics--set him apart from most of his contemporaries. But more than anything else, Mazor suggests, it was Rodgers' shape-shifting ability to assume many public personas--working stiff, decked-out cowboy, suave ladies' man--that connected him to such a broad public and set the stage for the stars who followed him. In reconstructing this far-flung legacy, Mazor enables readers to meet Rodgers and his music anew-not as an historical figure, but as a vibrant, immediate force.

But when extortionists target Bayliss and the dead bodies start showing up, Murdock finds he’s in for the ride of his life—maybe his final ride.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born Vito Farinola in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn in 1928, Vic worked as an usher at the fabled Paramount Theatre before realizing a dream by shooting to the top of the Billboard Chart in 1947 with his first hit "I Have But One Heart." He was mentored by everyone from Perry Como to Tommy Dorsey. Frank Sinatra praised his voice and became a friend for life, giving him advice on singing and women. Damone had one of the most successful careers ever had by an American pop singer and one of the most glamorous and exciting lives of any guy who lived while the Ratpack reigned. • He was almost thrown out of the window of a New York City hotel by a mobster. • He dated Ava Gardner, who got him drunk for the first time. • He married glamorous Italian actress Ana Maria Pierangeli and later, Diahann Carroll. • He appeared at the Sands Hotel during the glory days of Vegas and once took a nude chorus girl into the steam room where the Ratpack was relaxing. In Singing Was the Easy Part, he talks frankly about his bankruptcy, his many marriages and his belief in God. It's a warm, funny, and inspiring memoir from one of America's greatest pop singers.

Download or read book 1951 written by David D. Ferman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-04-28 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David D. Ferman describes the fall of 1951 when a sweet young coed tricked him into signing his Letter Of Intent with a small, remote junior college; a football coach who some thought could not pour urine out of a boot if the instructions were plainly printed on the heel, but he just kept winning anyway; and a quaint little college town where a guy could easily get an enviable reputation by doing very little, and a young lady could be ruined for life for doing a whole lot less. While growing up in southern Kansas, Dave witnessed fi rst-hand the Great Depression that wiped out fortunes across the United States, and the Dust Bowl that devastated hundreds of thousands of once fertile farms, both in the 1930s. He remembers the hardships and sacrifi ces of World War II, celebrating the birth of Rock n Roll, and muddling through the fi rst spasms of the Sexual Revolution. Along the way, Dave completed 12 years of strict parochial school education on the low-rent side of Wichita where only one in ten families owned a car, and very few teenagers went to college. Family motivated, Dave left home for college on a football scholarship to earn his teaching degrees in English and science. Intrigued by semantics classes, he studied the regional dialects commonly spoken by many young student-athletes in the early 1950s. His goal: to backtrack the language evolution that produced the vivid if somewhat nave imagery, life styles and culture of that far less complex time and place. Now Dave revisits the fall of 1951 with affectionate splashes of literary license. Numerous stories are blended together in this book, which is roughly 90 percent non-fiction and 10 percent creative memoir. To protect his once-imprudent friends who are now role models for families and others, Dave changed the names, locations, some descriptions and several time lines. Thats the least that he could do to disguise such good friends and supporters from back in 1951.
