Review # 1 was written on 2014-11-30 00:00:00 Thomas Badgett It's an interesting little book if you are interested in disjointed interviews with some stars of the Big Band era. This volume includes interviews with Kay Starr, Harry James, Les Brown, and Tony Bennett among others. I'm not being sarcastic when I use "interested" and "disjointed" in the same sentence. Some of the information/stories are very interesting, but they are not placed in any kind of context. Each chapter is simply a transcription of interviews, some of them done 15 years before the book's publication date of 1991. Dialogues would be important for any researcher, but if you're looking for a well-told story about the Swing Era, this isn't it.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-20 00:00:00 Keith Bradford Not to be missed. The author not only takes on the "chemical imbalance" and other psuedo-scientific theories of schizophrenia that are so popular at the moment, but he explains how he feels people really do decompensate into psychosis, and what will really help them get better. This is reasearch-based and refuses to believe the ad copy circulated by pharmaceutical companies. Great stuff. A must for anyone who has schizophrenia or anyone who cares about someone who has it. NAMI's true believers be warned: you will not like one word of this book.
