Product Description
by Robert W. Miles (Author)
The many thoughts and gratifying memories recounted in this volume began in 1924 and ended in 2013. The memories are of the author's development as a songwriter and the many talented and likeable people he got to know. The locale is mainly New York City, with important time spent as a composer at a Catskill Mountain resort. Many of the thoughts are about the changing popular music scene in America. ROBERT W. MILES has a master's degree in English, a library science degree, and many years experience in writing the music for musical theater works that have been produced in regional theaters throughout the United States. He has published many reviews of books about music in "The Sewanee Review" and has published articles on music in "The New Republic." He is also the author of "Bootleg Music and Other Stories" from Sunstone Press. Miles is the son of the late Reverend Robert Whitfield Miles, DD, twenty-five of whose sermons were published by Sunstone Press under the title "Eyes Forward: Messages for Today from Yesterday." He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
