The Band: An Instrument for Control
By Deon S. King
IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE MUSIC IS MAJESTIC. A WORLD HIGHLY INFLUENCED BY LYRICS. IN THIS WORLD, SOCIAL STRUCTURE, CULTURE, ETHICS, AND MORALS WERE DICTATED BY THE BEAT OF A DRUM, BY CHORDS ON THE PIANO, THE ROARING OF A GUITAR RIFT, THE THUMP OF THE BASS, THE ORGANIC MELODY OF THE ORGAN, AND THE SEDUCTION OF A SMOOTH SOUNDING SAXOPHONE. FROM INCEPTION (MANY OF US WERE CONCEIVED VIA THE HYPNOTIC EFFECT OF MUSIC) WE LOVE MUSIC, ITS RHYTHMIC MOTION CAUSES US TO SWAY BACK AND FORTH, AND DANCE A TWO-STEP THROUGH LIFE. THEN AFTER LIFE'S DANCE WE ARE USHERED INTO THE AFTER-WORLD ACCOMPANIED BY MUSIC AND LYRICS.
INSIDE THE WORLD OF “THE BAND: AN INSTRUMENT FOR CONTROL,” THE READERS ARE INTRODUCED TO A PARALLEL UNIVERSE. THE UNIVERSE IS AN ONTOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS, WHERE A DOUBLE-ENTENDRE LACED STORY IS CENTERED AROUND MUSIC, LYRICS, AND CHURCH HISTORY. THE READERS ARE INVITED TO EMBRACE THE SURFACE DIALOGUE OR ENGAGE IN THE THEOLOGICAL DEBATE (HIDDEN WITHIN) PERTAINING TO THE FORMATION OF THE CHURCH DURING THE REIGN OF CONSTANTINE AND THE EFFECTS OF AN EMPIRE CONTROLLED CHURCH. CONTINGENT UPON YOUR LOVE AFFAIR WITH MUSIC OR YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF CHURCH HISTORY; THE LYRICS WITHIN CAN BE INSIGHTFUL, INFORMATIVE, OR INSPIRATIONAL.

The Black American: A Documentary History
The Black American: A Documentary History by Glen P. Watkins, author. The purpose of this work is to present an overall view of the black race in American culture from slavery until 1992. The long voyage across the Atlantic involved weeks of nightmarish misery, suffering, and death. Slaves were kept in close quarters of ships with little space between the decks. They were manacled except when taken to the top deck for exercise while their quarters were being cleaned with vinegar. This was a journey of horror marked by death from dysentery, small pox, and the yaws. Some slaves committed suicide by the strange African method of swallowing the tongue. Destined to become an integral part of American history, the presence of African Americans markedly shaped the life and history of the 13 colonies. By many measures, the relative position of African Americans has scarcely improved. Undoubtedly, many have made impressive gain, but after more than 40 years, the majority has not sufficiently improved their relative standing. African Americans and other ethnic groups have acquired limited progress in social mobility. This exciting history is a part of all American regardless of ethnicity or social standing and should be known by all Americans. Learn the story in The Black American: A Documentary History.

The Boy Who Gave Away His Mother’s Shoes
TO THE READER
So many hats we must wear in today’s complex society! Even under a single hat or head covering, our thoughts are conceived, varied and fast-paced. I love the way our society functions and how determined we usually are to be part of the way it works. I also appreciate that many of us still can find comfort in personal, quiet time. For me, and hopefully for you, reading is precious time. The wonder that books and stories captured in our minds lets us travel far and near and permits us to go beyond the past or into the future as our minds allow. In reading stories, travel is done with comfort and satisfaction. For some of us, good story telling also promotes diverse cultural understanding.
The stories in this book allow us to forget about the hat we usually wear at the time we pick up a book. We can be introduced to familiar or unique persons with whom we may have a symbiotic experience. With any good read, you can change to mix with the characters when they become introduced into your life.
Since reading is such an individualistic endeavor of choice to achieve enjoyment and distraction, it is probably the best selection to add entertainment to your day. This may include new thoughts that take us away from the structures that trap us with responsibilities.
These stories are like having a friendly companion who distracts us from chores or the dwelling on more mundane callings. Rethinking the plots in these stories may also add to some of your personal recollections. I say this because, for me, writing stories triggered thoughts about other experiences I have had. I find that the more I have to think about, the more I have in my head to record. Enjoy!

The Boy With the Blue Cap: Van Gogh in Arles
Melding the historical, the imaginary, and the fine arts, The Boy with the Blue Cap presents the story behind Van Gogh’s paintings through the narrative of a young, precocious boy, Camille Roulin, son of a postal worker. Camille develops a close relationship with the artist and pulls the reader into the story as he follows Van Gogh around Arles, exploring his world of vibrant color and artistry. When Van Gogh meets two gypsy women, events in and around Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, heat up, providing an element of intrigue. Weaving the artistic life of Van Gogh, his spiritual thoughts, and his relationship to Gauguin, into the story of a boy and his family, the novel explores the exploits and talent of this great artist. It also captures the unique flavor of Provençal life during the eighteen month period in which Van Gogh lived and painted in the Midi.
