This volume contains sixteen pieces for the beginning classical guitar duo. Efforts have been made to include composers of note from various periods such as Tchaikovsky, Dowland, Beethoven, Bartok, and Bach, yet the music is not above the abilities of beginning readers. By and large, the key signatures have only one sharp or flat and the accidentals are minimal. The music falls within first position and difficult bar chords have been avoided. The book will provide beginning duos access to music by great composers that is not beyond their capabilities. Written in standard notation only with suggested left hand fingering. Convenient pull-out parts are provided for guitars 1 and 2.

Graded Guitar Duos: Volume 1

Mel Bay Publications,Inc.

It was New Year's Eve, 1975. Our college sophomore had just driver his uncle's pickup into the country club swimming pool and school was starting the next day. A real bite! But with a few bongs and a couple of T-900s-a boilermaker with 151 rum for the shot-the semester started out okay. Our young "hero" had to make good grades to stay in his private, upper-middle class, WASP school. Otherwise he was doomed to the hinterlands of mid-north Indiana and the farm of his adoptive aunt and uncle. Classes started well, but all around him swirled the distractions he craved: copping buzzes, being involved in the firing of a professor, speed replacing food to stave off hunger, student demonstrations. Out of this mess was a bright spot, however. He was a crack intercollegiate debater, using insights gleaned from doing drugs to create arguments. (Is that really where they came from?) But his grades, otherwise, stunk. So he bagged finals to thumb 1,500 miles to Maine. That stunk too. Back he went to re-evaluate his young life and hope for enlightenment. A summer loomed ahead. What would he do with it?

Nineteen Seventy-Five: A Year in the Life of a College Sophomore : Taking it Apart (Part 1)

Sunstone Press

It was the summer of 1975. Our college sophomore has spent spring semester doing drugs, feeling the freedom of being out of the clutches of his dominating adult relatives, thumbing to Maine in desperation over bad grades, and having a good time with the debate team. But life feels like hell. He decides it is time for a regrouping and heads back "home" for the summer. By day he works construction among hilljacks. At night he parties with his few friends, also back from college. Weekends he gets away to Bloomington for keggers and other parties. As the end of summer nears, he learns that his relatives are secretly plotting to have him committed and he escapes West with some buddies but soon realizes how futile that kind of escape is. Depressed and believing himself a failure, he returns to school. Ironically, he soon becomes a candidate for Student Body President, creates a substantial income by writing term papers for other students, and, miraculously, after twenty years, finally loses his virginity. Suddenly everything comes into focus and he discovers himself.

Nineteen Seventy-Five: A Year in the Life of a College Sophomore, Putting It Back Together, But Differently (Part 2)

"Crime Pays! is an iconic novel of these times!" "Author Mark Small has penned a tale eerily relevant to the economic turmoil that burdens Americans today as a result of the greed and financial misdealings of big business and Wall Street. His initially tangled storylines effortlessly unravel to reveal an emphatic reminder that nothing is free in life - and to think otherwise is simply absurd." Told through the sardonic voice of a small-town boy coming of age in the 1960s, this satirical novel disconcertingly parallels the financial and ethical toxicities of modern society. Based on actual events, the author's "buyer beware" tale immortalizes one of the largest get-rich-quick schemes of its time where thousands of naïve residents of a colorful Midwestern town were bilked out of millions. A story not for the faint of heart, author Mark Small vividly unravels a tangled web of deceit, greed, fraud and murder. The story will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions from hope and horror to empathy and vindication.
