Gary White (b. 1937), an award-winning composer, Distinguished Professor Emeritus from Iowa State University, and music-textbook author, has gathered up some of the stories of his life and offers them to you. As he explains, .\"like pebbles in a stream, most of these little pieces have been rounded and polished by frequent retelling.\" Gary describes growing up in rural Kansas in the 1940s, developing a successful career, leaving it behind in the 1990s, and learning to lead a meaningful life in retirement. \"Pebbles\" include the dating habits of hormone-driven teenagers, colorful local characters, what really went on with the high-school yearbook staff, ghost stories-as well as observations about the beginnings of electronic music, insights into the composing process, living in Spain, reflections on the meaning of success-and much more. Pebbles will appeal to people interested in mid-20th-century Americana as well as those intrigued by the diverse influences that impact one person's development in life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pilgrims' Process\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780979090974","brand":"Pilgrims' Process","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40628692484211,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":28.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_8818dfcc-80ce-4305-97b7-7e143a927892.jpg?v=1671118467","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/pebbles-memories-of-a-small-town-kansas-boy-9780979090974","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
