For the characters in these stories, love and music are almost indistinguishable. A famous songwriting duo is destroyed by their creative differences, a jazz musician is consumed by his inability to speak or play, a man takes a pop song literally and charts his love onto buildings. These stories cover songs and riff on melodies. They unearth chords that bridge the gap between past and present.
Contents:
Rodgers and Hart -- Stockholm Syndrome -- Love goes to a building on fire -- Husbandry -- One hundred characters -- Assassins -- Tiny cities made of ashes -- Bar Joke, Arizona -- The great American songbook.
