<p>This book is about a dance band in Hampton Roads, Virginia, a modern Big Band called the Sound Of Swing, and the many, many "sidemen" who have kept the group vital for more than 30 years. Part love story, part history of the local music business, part monkeyshines, it was written to celebrate all the swinging characters who play a part in American popular music culture and make it sound so good!</p>

Deep Tradeoffs Publishing

<p>Deep Tradeoffs helps readers find more balance, peace of mind, and even friendship in a polarized, angry world. In just 200 pages of conversational, even-handed thoughtfulness, it probes the eternally conflicting values and truths entangled within our shared concerns and divided commitments.  More than 300 short quotes - from Samuel Adams and Aesop to Oscar Wilde and Stevie Wonder - illuminate the competing yet intertwined perspectives of sages, philosophers, artists, professors, pundits, and ordinary people with extraordinary insights. By entering the conversation you'll fortify or challenge your own ideas about belief, truth, knowledge, ideology, peace, the subconscious, and much more. Wise people see both sides of a problem and have a reason for choosing theirs. Rather than arguing, we can understand the tradeoffs involved and choose our path, with a fuller understanding of what we're getting and what we're giving up.</p>
