Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews). . . is what I told the author by e-mail:
Dear Mr. Jenkins,
I just finished Goodbye, and I wanted you to know how glad I am you wrote it. I got it through Rick Apt; it is a copy you signed.
I love your father's music and have for a long time, but I had little idea just how comprehensive his talent was. Your book deepened my admiration for his work. I'll appreciate it even more now.
As someone who makes a living as an editor, I have pretty high
standards. Your writing is clear, your passion is evident, your style is rewarding on many levels, and the book is whole: nothing need be added or taken away, as I see it.
Beyond that, as a dilettante baritone in a few big band style ensembles, I've got a new, higher standard to shoot for just knowing what a man like Gordon Jenkins expected of others. And when I sing a ballad, I'll damn sure never trust a leader who keeps his eye on the band instead of me.
Thank you for writing a great book about a great man.
Yours truly,
Bill Fisher
(By the way, the author was gracious enough to reply to my e-mail--a class act.)
