This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death the Door, Music a Key is an invitation to join a journey that is not always easy, but might just alter the way you think about how you live your life. The journey begins in the fragile moments just before life ends, as we sit beside the deathbed and seek to understand this sacred process through the eyes of a harpist. This book of stories tells of ordinary people in the midst of extraordinary moments: people experiencing grief, loss and the anticipation of death. For the most part, however, it is the story of the author, who followed a calling to sit with the dying and share her music. It paints a picture of the work that I do as a harpist who plays intuitive music at the bedside, the restorative qualities of the harp, and the gift that it brings many. It is my hope that through telling these stories, not only will the lives of those who I have played for be honoured, but also their death. It is my hope that their story will serve as a reminder to others that this experience does not have to be frightening, though it requires acceptance, and acceptance requires courage.This acceptance of death can be rarely found, and when it is, it is unmistakable, for their peace seems to permeate everything and everyone around them.
Download or read book Set the Night on Fire written by Robby Krieger and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his tell-all, legendary Doors guitarist, Robby Krieger, one of Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time," opens up about his band's meteoric career, his own darkest moments, and the most famous black eye in rock 'n' roll. Few bands are as shrouded in the murky haze of rock mythology as The Doors, and parsing fact from fiction has been a virtually impossible task. But now, after fifty years, The Doors' notoriously quiet guitarist is finally breaking his silence to set the record straight. Through a series of vignettes, Robby Krieger takes readers back to where it all happened: the pawn shop where he bought his first guitar; the jail cell he was tossed into after a teenage drug bust; his parents' living room where his first songwriting sessions with Jim Morrison took place; the empty bars and backyard parties where The Doors played their first awkward gigs; the studios where their iconic songs were recorded; and the many concert venues that erupted into historic riots. Set the Night on Fire is packed with never-before-told stories from The Doors' most vital years, and offers a fresh perspective on the most infamous moments of the band's career. Krieger also goes into heartbreaking detail about his life's most difficult struggles, ranging from drug addiction to cancer, but he balances out the sorrow with humorous anecdotes about run-ins with unstable fans, famous musicians, and one really angry monk. Set the Night on Fire is at once an insightful time capsule of the '60s counterculture, a moving reflection on what it means to find oneself as a musician, and a touching tale of a life lived non-traditionally. It's not only a must-read for Doors fans, but an essential volume of American pop culture history.

Download or read book The Seekers written by John Densmore and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The iconic drummer of The Doors investigates his own relationship with creativity and explores the meaning of artistry with other artists and performers in this compelling and spellbinding memoir. Whether it's the curiosity that blossoms after we listen to our favorite band's newest record, or the sheer admiration we feel after watching a knockout performance, many of us have experienced art so pure-so innovative-that we can't help but wonder afterwards: "How did they do that?" And yet, few of us are in a position to be able to ask those memorable legends where their inspiration comes from and how they translated it into something fresh and new. Fortunately for us, this book is here to offer us a bridge. In The Seekers, John Densmore—the iconic drummer of The Doors and author of the New York Times bestseller Riders onthe Storm—digs deep into his own process and draws upon his privileged access to his fellow artists and performers in order to explore the origins of creativity itself. Weaving together anecdotes from the author's personal notebooks and experiences over the past fifty years, this book takes readers on a rich, thought-provoking journey into the soul of the artist. By understanding creativity's roots, Densmore ultimately introduces us to the realm of everyday inspirations that imbue our lives with meaning. Inspired by the classic spiritual memoir Meetings with Remarkable Men, this book is fueled by Densmore's abundant collection of transformative experiences—both personal and professional—with everyone from Ravi Shankar to Patti Smith, Jim Morrison to Janis Joplin, Bob Marley to Gustavo Dudamel, Lou Reed to Van Morrison, Jerry Lee Lewis to his own dear, late Doors bandmate Ray Manzarek. Ultimately, the result is not only a look into the hearts and minds of some of the most important artists of the past century—but a way for readers to identify and ignite their own creative spark, and light their own fire.

Download or read book The Doors written by Greil Marcus and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fan from the moment the Doors' first album took over KMPX, the revolutionary FM rock & roll station in San Francisco, Greil Marcus saw the band many times at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium and the Avalon Ballroom in 1967. Five years later it was all over. Forty years after the singer Jim Morrison was found dead in Paris and the group disbanded, one could drive from here to there, changing from one FM pop station to another, and be all but guaranteed to hear two, three, four Doors songs in an hour -- every hour. Whatever the demands in the music, they remained unsatisfied, in the largest sense unfinished, and absolutely alive. There have been many books on the Doors. This is the first to bypass their myth, their mystique, and the death cult of both Jim Morrison and the era he was made to personify, and focus solely on the music. It is a story untold; all these years later, it is a new story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the trailblazing mind of Young Penny, the sensational hip-hop artist who defied norms with hits like 'White Boy Money', 'Fair Casket', and 'Love International', comes a sonic tapestry unlike any other. "Queer Beats: Stories from LGBTQ+ Artists in the Music Industry" is a riveting, no-holds-barred exploration, and a "melodiously penned odyssey through the rhythms of queer representation in the world of music" (East Bay Express). Young Penny, who shattered ceilings by claiming the title of NYC's first openly gay gangsta rapper, orchestrates an intimate concert of voices, giving readers front-row seats to the symphony of struggles, triumphs, beats, and ballads of the LGBTQ+ community in the music scene. As the maestro of this tale, Penny draws from his own journey, juxtaposing it against the broader crescendo of the queer music movement—each note resonating with tales of love, resilience, activism, and liberation. Punctuated with vibrant anecdotes and deep reflections, this tome unveils the untold narratives of artists who've danced on the fringes, serenaded from the shadows, and are now stepping into the limelight. It's not just a chronicle of queer music, but a manifesto of self-expression, challenging every reader to find their own rhythm in the cacophony of life. For fans of Young Penny, music aficionados, and anyone curious about the harmonies of the heart, this book is a ticket to the most evocative concert you'll ever attend. So, turn the pages, feel the pulse, and let the music of 'Queer Beats' transport you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes love waits a world away, and happiness must be fought for. In the year 1811, impassable barriers separate the world of carriages, battles and bonnets from the world of witches, goblins and fae. Until the Solstice comes. Then the walls fall, and anyone may pass out of England and into Aylfenhame… Three courageous heroines will take that step. Sophy Landon, impoverished and alone; Isabel Ellerby, trapped by the prospect of an unwelcome marriage; and Bessie Bell, a mistreated housemaid. But courage brings its own rewards. Curses, betrayals and a dark history may wait in the realm of the fae, but so do adventure, and magic, and dreams. And for those with heart enough, true love. These are stories of escape, of freedom, of joy snatched from the jaws of despair. They're stories of the road to happiness, winding though it may be. Of a brightness in the sky on the darkest of days, and above all: of love, and its power to change everything. This compendium contains three blissful novels of love, magic and adventure: Miss Landon and Aubranael, Miss Ellerby and the Ferryman, and Bessie Bell and the Goblin King.

This book was released on 2010-12-13 with total page 1396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an international team of acclaimed folklorists, this reference text provides a cross-cultural survey of the major types and methods of inquiry in folklore. Did you know that the tale of Cinderella is over 1,000 years old, and similar versions of this singular story exist in hundreds of cultures around the globe? Have you heard of "deathlore," a subgenre of folklore involving tombstones, coffins, cemeteries, and roadside memorial shrines? Did you realize that UFO sightings and cyber cultures constitute modern folklore? The broad field of folklore studies, developed over the past two centuries, provides significant insights into many aspects of human culture. While the term "folklore" conjures images of ancient practices and beliefs or folk heroes and traditional stories, it also applies to today's ever-changing cultural landscape. Even certain aspects of modern Internet-based popular culture and contemporary rites of passage represent folklore. This encyclopedia covers all the major genres of both ancient and contemporary folklore. This second edition adds more than 100 entries that examine the folklore practices of major ethnic groups, folk heroes, creatures of myth and legend, and emerging areas of interest in folklore studies.
Download or read book MY MOTHER S TALES written by Aziza Jafarzade and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tales in this book were told to the renowned author and academic Aziza Jafarzade by her mother "Grandmother Boyukhanim" when she was a child in Azerbaijan in the first half of the last century. In later life she faithfully wrote them down and preserved them for posterity in the collection "My Mother's Tales" published in Baku in 1982. They are a joy to read. Influenced by fairy tales and folklore they are rich in mysticism, metaphor, allegory and magic. With dragons and serpents, speaking animals, flying horses and other strange creatures, every story has a strong moral element to it. Good usually triumphs over evil, but not always, for - like all good fairy tales - there is a dark side to them. All aspects of human life are addressed with consummate skill and these stories will appeal to both children and adults alike. This universal appeal and timelessness is best summed up by Professor Maharramova: "She used the language of the marvellous to mirror the hopes and fears of our own world".
