Download or read book I m Possible written by Richard Antoine White and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Powerful . . . equal parts heartwarming and heart-wrenching. White is a gifted storyteller." —Washington Post From the streets of Baltimore to the halls of the New Mexico Philharmonic, a musician shares his remarkable story in I'm Possible, an inspiring memoir of perseverance and possibility. Young Richard Antoine White and his mother don't have a key to a room or a house. Sometimes they have shelter, but they never have a place to call home. Still, they have each other, and Richard believes he can look after his mother, even as she struggles with alcoholism and sometimes disappears, sending Richard into loops of visiting familiar spots until he finds her again. And he always does—until one night, when he almost dies searching for her in the snow and is taken in by his adoptive grandparents. Living with his grandparents is an adjustment with rules and routines, but when Richard joins band for something to do, he unexpectedly discovers a talent and a sense of purpose. Taking up the tuba feels like something he can do that belongs to him, and playing music is like a light going on in the dark. Soon Richard gains acceptance to the prestigious Baltimore School for the Arts, and he continues thriving in his musical studies at the Peabody Conservatory and beyond, even as he navigates racial and socioeconomic disparities as one of few Black students in his programs. With fierce determination, Richard pushes forward on his remarkable path, eventually securing a coveted spot in a symphony orchestra and becoming the first African American to earn a doctorate in music for tuba performance. A professor, mentor, and motivational speaker, Richard now shares his extraordinary story—of dreaming big, impossible dreams and making them come true.

Book excerpt: Erickson continues the themes of millennial obsessions that preoccupied him in The Sea Came in at Midnight (1999), this time in a lush, profoundly disorienting story saturated in metaphors of birth and apocalyptic decadence. As it opens, Kristin, who appeared in Sea, is a former rough chick made tender by motherhood. She lives in a hotel with her young son Kirk (short for Kierkegaard), on the edge of a lake (called Lake Zero, as in, you know, Ground Zero) that suddenly appeared and overtook much of downtown Los Angeles at the turn of the millennium.

Download or read book Harmonic Experience written by W. A. Mathieu and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1997-08-01 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of musical harmony from its ancient fundamentals to its most complex modern progressions, addressing how and why it resonates emotionally and spiritually in the individual. W. A. Mathieu, an accomplished author and recording artist, presents a way of learning music that reconnects modern-day musicians with the source from which music was originally generated. As the author states, "The rules of music--including counterpoint and harmony--were not formed in our brains but in the resonance chambers of our bodies." His theory of music reconciles the ancient harmonic system of just intonation with the modern system of twelve-tone temperament. Saying that the way we think music is far from the way we do music, Mathieu explains why certain combinations of sounds are experienced by the listener as harmonious. His prose often resembles the rhythms and cadences of music itself, and his many musical examples allow readers to discover their own musical responses.

Download or read book Cockles and Muscles written by Paul Gwynfor Davies and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in a rural Welsh village in the late 1950s comes a romantic comedy with great historical detail and larger than life characters that will make you laugh out loud! John Prosser has potential. Everyone knows this - except John, whose indolence and lack of self-confidence hamper his progress. He constantly requires a ‘kick up the backside’, sometimes from his hardworking parents, and sometimes from Miss ‘Smarty Pants’, Heulwen Hughes, a cerebral beauty he is captivated by whenever circumstances push them together. Despite this, John shows little sign of wanting to move on. There’s security to be had in the close-knit Welsh village of Brynteilo, its occupants numbering various branches of his extended family, and the host of eccentric and badly-behaved characters provide more than enough amusement. Further still, John feels a need to help his ageing parents - and a need for the coffin-maker’s daughter and village temptress, Rianna Lewis... Finally John makes the break and finds success, professionally and romantically, both in his home country and abroad. But life is determined to throw him a few curveballs along the way! A romantic comedy with a difference, Cockles and Muscles attempts to recreate the living conditions of the late 1950s, and aims to represent the Welsh people’s hard but interesting lives from that period before those voices are lost.

So when Ripplemitz's most powerful spell is let loose on the world, off Twig goes to catch it. And catch it he does, except... not quite in the way that he intended. Because, instead of catching it in an enchanted jar, Twig sort of... well... catches it in... HIMSELF. Brilliantly funny, with bags and bags of heart, The Accidental Wizard is destined to leave you completely spellbound.

Also, America's ignoble past, and her own regrets. She is surrounded by dead lakes, fake facts, Open Carry maniacs, and oodles of online advice about survivalism, veil toss duties, and how to be more like Jane Fonda. But what do you do when you keep stepping on your son's toy tractors, your life depends on stolen land and broken treaties, and nobody helps you when you get a flat tire on the interstate, not even the Abominable Snowman? When are you allowed to start swearing? With a torrent of consciousness and an intoxicating coziness, Ducks, Newburyport lays out a whole world for you to tramp around in, by turns frightening and funny. A heart-rending indictment of America's barbarity, and a lament for the way we are blundering into environmental disaster, this book is both heresy―and a revolution in the novel.
