A Depression-era story of rum-running, politics, and murder in Florida's north country.

Brings together 366 brief true stories ranging from the inspirational to the burlesque, illuminating the musical experience for composers, musicians, and listeners.

In 1876, a close presidential contest was tilted by means of a few stuffed ballot boxes, one of which came from the village of Archer, Florida. That fraud is the departure point for Norman Gilliland's historical novel, a story of carpetbag politics, get-rich-quick schemes, and hasty justice.

This irresistible collection of stories is perfect for anyone interested in a fresh perspective on what it means to be a human being who creates art. "Grace Notes for a Year "sheds light on the fragile and perilous process of inspiration, composition, and performance required to create classical music, whether the final product is a masterpiece or a mess. Each page of the book corresponds to a different day of the year and features a true story about a famous figure in musical history. These delightful anecdotes--inspirational, informative, and often hilarious--disprove the myth of the artist as untouchable. Instead, Norman Gilliland exposes in them human vulnerability we can all relate to. From Beethoven to Wagner, these artists suffered from poverty, spent lazy days in bed, had scandalous love affairs, and often failed in their creative endeavors as often as they succeeded.
