Summary: Your Chance To Know A Great Music Man
Comment: You may never have heard of Earle Hagen, but there are few people who have not heard his music. This book -honest, funny, touching, loaded with insight- gives the reader a chance to know the author, and relive the years of the Big Band era with Tommy Dorsey and Hagen, Ray Noble and Hagen, Harry James and Hagen, Benny Goodman and Hagen. It takes us through World War II and the musicians in uniform. And then, there are his adventures in Hollywood and memorable films with stars like Betty Grable and Marilyn Monroe. Hagen's remarkable accomplishments in television come alive as he relates his experiences with the producers and stars of series like I Spy and Dick Van Dyke and Danny Thomas and Andy Griffith. He opens a whole new entertaining vista, revealing what went on behind the scenes. Always interesting, always revealing, always provocative, one realizes that Hagen is not only a great composer, but a remarkable storyteller. I loved every page!
