I wrote a rather short review of Bob's grand book at Amazon.com. It is a remarkable book and writing it had to be a huge challenge---to give Paul credit when it was due and still take note of some of the sad realities of his life and times in "show biz" as well--. I'll go to Amazon and copy my review and put it here for all to peruse---(completely appropriate since we live in Peru, Illinois--USA. ;-)

Also, there are certain unique parallels between this volume and Kendall Morse's amazing new CD. I just posted a review of that CD at the thread about it that is currently running. I'll pull it and re-post it here too. --- But I can't figure out how to cut and/or copy and paste. All 3 of those are grayed out and not functioning when I click the EDIT drop down menu. These new-fangled machines drive me nuts.
