Landry
From a sports journalist, the biography of the legendary head coach of the Dallas Cowboys from 1966 to 1985. Just the mention of his name brings smiles to the faces of sports fans everywhere. Landry: The Legend and the Legacy is a tribute to the man behind the hat, the look, and the game. In rich texture, sports writer Bob St. John tells the story of one of America’s most loved heroes—Tom Landry—who was, for twenty-nine years, the Dallas Cowboys’ only head coach. Favorite memories of Landry are shared by others who knew him as a person and as a friend: Dan Reeves, Mike Ditka, Charlie Waters, Bob Lilly, Charles Swindoll, Roger Staubach, Drew Pearson. Pictures from throughout Landry’s career and recollections from friends and fellow players help depict the man who molded lives and changed the course of football forever.
Writing Out the Notes
A rambling trip through a colourful and melodic St. John's childhood, combined with a how-not-to-do-it-yourself guide to the music business and a thoughtful and sometimes poignant look at the way a legendary Canadian band creates music - all of these threads and many others are pulled together by writer and musician Bob Hallett. Writing Out the Notes began as a series of essays Hallett wrote to explain his love of music, but it turned into a humorous biography and a kind of extended solo on music and how his love for it transformed his life. Although he is best known for his role in Great Big Sea, Hallett has long had a parallel career as a writer. And while some writers seek inspiration from travel, history, or romance, for Hallett, the place where he grew up provided all the inspiration he never needed.
