Book excerpt: A woman he hates. A man she hates more. An unwanted child. And a man who tries to take it all away with one signature. As soon as Zack Walters walked into that sticky bar, I knew he couldn’t put a sentence together without effort. To my surprise, I’ve learned that he’s not a man of many words. His actions speak much louder. He didn’t know what he was getting into when he mixed with me. Truth is, I didn’t know, either. That’s been my life. A laundry list of troubles isn’t what anyone wants, especially when it comes to one pint-sized person. It isn’t what I signed up for. It isn’t what Zack signed up for, either. But most important, it isn’t what a child should have to go through alone. She’s silver-tongued, audacious, and a huge pain in my ass. But I was raised to help when help’s needed. It’s what I do. She thinks I’m a fool, and sometimes I believe her, but falling in love twice in the same week doesn’t prove anyone wrong, least of all me. Despite the alarm bells going off all over, I can’t stay away from these girls, and one of them won’t let me leave. I just wish there were more guarantees. My brothers think that he’ll take her away, and if he doesn’t, with Kate’s troubles, something else might. It’s like a Euchre game. I just hope that my heart can trump their spades. …little do I know that the Euchre game is going to be trumped by a blast going off on the day that my brother says his vows.

Download or read book The Banjo on Record written by Uli Heier and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1993 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appeal of the banjo has been shown to be timeless and universal---adaptable to almost any form of popular music. It was one of just a few instruments that could be faithfully reproduced in the early days of sound recording, and its recording history dates back to 1889. Heier documents that history on cylinders and 78-rpm disks in the pre-LP era ending in the mid-1950s. The book offers a comprehensive compilation of all such recordings on which the banjo plays a solo role or dominant part. Organized by performer or performing group, the recordings are listed chronologically with location, date, matrix number, and take-digit as available, as well as manufacturer and catalog number. Biographical information on the banjoist is provided wherever possible, and all performers anywhere in the world known to have recorded any type of music on banjo are included even if no data on the actual disks is available. Introduced in a foreword by British discographer Brian Rust, the discography also includes a narrative account of the banjo in phonograph recording history by Lowell Schreyer and an essay on the history of the banjo itself by Robert Lloyd Webb. In addition to the discography proper, the editors have provided a preface, A Quick Look at the Banjo Family, identifying the instruments; an extensive bibliography of sources; an index of all tune titles; and reproductions of 92 recording labels. These elements all combine to make this volume a true discopedia of the banjo.
