Most professions have their own jokes, but musicians seem to have more than their fair share. Perhaps it's the insane travel schedule, the bad lodgings or just lack of sleep. But as Jim Green says in his introduction, "it's not surprising we're a band apart (so to speak), outcasts who seek only our own company, rubbing two jokes together for warmth and trying to feel superior by sneering at one another's abilities and personalities."So maybe the reason musicians love poking fun at one another may be nothing more than getting in first before everyone else does. Or perhaps choosing laughter is the only alternative to despair...

In 1907, five years before Arizona’s statehood, Walter Gist Tolleson and his wife, Alethea, chose the dry Arizona Territory for their sick son. In 1910, they purchased and later subdivided 160 acres just 10 miles from a young settlement known as Phoenix. And in 1912, the town of Tolleson was born. By the 1940s and 1950s, the community had become the “Vegetable Center of the World.” The area that was once an agricultural mecca is now divided by suburban sprawl, but Tolleson’s original spirit remains. It is bustling with growing schools and industry, as well as world-class sports, shopping, and entertainment facilities, all surrounding a 6-square-mile community with small-town pride. That inexhaustible spirit continues to make Tolleson one of the greatest places in the country to live.

A side-splitting selection of one-liners, comic de¹nitions, yarns and witty quotes from the world of music. Most professions have their own jokes, but musicians seem to have more than their fair share. Perhaps it’s the insane travel schedule, the bad lodgings or just lack of sleep. But as Jim Green says in his introduction, “...it’s not surprising we’re a band apart (so to speak), outcasts who seek only our own company, rubbing two jokes together for warmth and trying to feel superior by sneering at one another’s abilities and personalities.” So maybe the reason musicians love poking fun at one another is nothing more than getting in first before everyone else does. Or perhaps choosing laughter is the only alternative to despair... Anyway, here is a truly great selection of jokes, quotes and stories from the world’s second oldest profession. Enjoy!

A simple, intelligent guide to meditation and contemplation for those dealing with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
Drawing on his experience of meditation within both the Buddhist and Christian contemplative traditions, as well as his own times of personal loss and bewilderment, Jim Green offers us a moving account of just how this wisdom practice can accompany each of us as we make 'the gentle pilgrimage of recovery'. He offers a thorough and practical approach to our times of personal desolation, centered on the practice of meditation, showing how we can learn to treat ourselves and each other with care and compassion.
Giving Up Without Giving Up explores the possibility that we have much to learn from the desert times in our lives, when it feels as though we are losing everything, most of all any sense of who we are.

WE have a segment of Americans who march to the polls on election day to vote against everything Christ stood for—And yet in their delusion they claim to be Christians! The obvious question we can ask is: Why have they sealed themselves in a “bubble” and are deaf as an adder regarding the current Republican agenda? It is obvious they have not informed themselves about a Republican Party that has made a radical turn away from Christ’s teachings—thus the title of this book—and the purpose of this book is to drill down on the common denominators for why these people do this—i.e., vote against tenets they claim to believe in? If one is not following the teachings of Christ, they are not a Christian! Period! That is an indisputable fact—and the current Republican agenda it antithetical to Christ’s teachings!

Curl up with a glass of wine, some mince pies, and enjoy six spanking new Christmas murder mysteries in the Miss Tayke Investigates series. (1) Our intrepid sleuth sleeps through a vicious murder during the television recording of a quiz show pilot, finds herself among the suspects, and digs herself out to expose a sadistic killer. (2) An elderly professor is stabbed to death and a priceless artefact stolen from home. Miss Tayke is called in by the local police to solve the riddle of the murdered professor. She reveals the killer and the reason for the heinous crime: the theft of the first ever printed advent calendar worth millions. (3) Miss Tayke invites a group of friends home for supper after evensong at St Aidan’s church on Christmas Eve. Hardly have they settled down in her tiny living room than a group of carol singers arrive at the door. They too are invited in and soon the cottage is overcrowded with guests spilling over into the hallway and kitchen area. In the midst of the festive merriment a guest is poisoned. With twenty-one people assembled in her tiny living room she unmasks the killer and exposes a strange love triangle. (4) Miss Tayke treats herself to an early Christmas present; a five-day festive excursion on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. She befriends a professor of archaeology who mysteriously vanishes into thin air after the train leaves France. . Was the professor abducted, was he murdered, and if so, where is the body? In a nail-biting finale she solves the riddle of the missing lecturer and unmasks the sneak thieves as the train hurtles on towards Venice… (5) Canon Southgate, the vicar of St Aidan’s Anglican Church throws a Christmas luncheon party for key parishioners t during which Bransby Updike MP is stabbed through the heart with an icicle. The police are summoned and in the frame for murder are three highly respected guests; the lord lieutenant of the county, the mayor, and the local wine merchant. Miss Tayke disagrees with how the investigation is being handled and when the chief CID officer takes ill, she takes over. Sifting through a labyrinth of conflicting strands of evidence, she exposes the killer in a nail biting climax. (6) On Boxing Day a car ferrying Miss Tayke and her friends breaks down in a violent storm. They abandon the vehicle and make their way in the swirling snow up a steep hill to a sinister looking old mansion where they are admitted by a melancholic butler. The kindly owner welcomes them to take shelter and stay for lunch. However the weather deteriorates further and they are obliged to remain and endure a bizarre and terrifying overnight stay among a strange set of guests. At intervals during the night three of the guests are electrocuted by a maniac. It is impossible to contact the police because the storm has wrecked the landline and all mobiles are equally neutralised. Miss Tayke conducts her own investigation and exposes the most unlikely psychopath before dawn - and another brutal slaying…
