Description
"The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love." Jimi Hendrix
A NEW Kindle Single. Includes “The Memory Songbook†bonus chapter.
For Luther Gooden, music was not a job. It was an all-consuming quest, a calling, a salvation.
Yet one day in 1971 the only thing this gifted African-American guitarist needed — badly —was a gig. A significant gig. His first paying gig as a sideman with a touring band. Following an audition in Boston, he felt close … very close …
His girlfriend, Karrine, also had a burning need. That morning she kissed Luther goodbye and wished him luck. Then she dressed well for a meeting with another man. She wasn’t sure what would happen. But by the time she left her rendezvous, she knew her life would change.
Music is easy compared to love.
