A TIME
OF MUSIC, A TIME OF MAGIC
Author: Joseph L.S. Terrell
A literary novel about
one weekend in the life of a dance band musician, a bass player, who has
accepted his own self-destruction through alcohol. It takes place in a
Southeastern beach town just when the big bands were going out of style.
Danny McCullers was one of the people who made the music
just when the Big Bands were going out of style. He loved the life that
set him and his fellow musicians a bit apart from the rest of the world.
His world was on the bandstand with the colored lights going around, the
horns hitting it together, the laughing women dressed in beautiful clothes.
It was hotel rooms and all-night cafes and long automobile rides over
deserted highways, and, always, there had to be the whisky. But at only
thirty-one, his world was deteriorating fast, in a haze of alcohol.
At the end of summer, in a small beach town
where the band was playing a one-night stand, Danny came to realize that
his life might be different—that he still might make it different.
He had only to make a choice.
"Terrell's
genius is displayed in his characterization, not only of Danny McCullers,
but of his helpmates too...A TIME OF MUSIC- is in the category of "I
just couldn't put it down."
—South Bend (IN) Tribune
