My West Hollywood Lifestyle, Whatever!
The second collection of the long-running, gay, comic strip, "Troy." Set in a slightly fictional version of West Hollywood, CA., quite possibly the gayest little city in North America, "Troy" follows the lives and loves of Troy, his roommate Rigo, Rigo’s boyfriend Jorge, and their friends Ray and Derrick. In My West Hollywood Lifestyle, Whatever!, Troy meets his evil, younger, fresher doppelganger, makes a splash at the gay porn awards, and gets cast in the new, very gay, musical, "Naked Boys Behind Bars, Sing!" where he meets the hunky, "straight," bottom-boy Nick. Includes “Troy” strips 51 to 100. Released digitally by Northwest Press, which has been publishing quality LGBT-inclusive comics and graphic novels since 2010.
Living in Worlds of Music
Informed by her in-depth ethnomusical knowledge, the result of detailed fieldwork, Mans’s book is about musical worlds and how we as people inhabit them. The book asserts that an understanding of our musical worlds can be a transformative educational tool that could have a significant role to play in multicultural music and arts education. She explores the way in which musical expression, with its myriad cultural variations, reveals much about identity and cultural norms, and shows how particular musical sounds are aesthetically related to these norms. The author goes further to suggest that similar systems can be detected across cultures, while each world remains colored by a distinctive ...
Friendly Fireside Meditations
One year our pastor gave us twenty-five scriptures, one a week for twenty-five weeks, urging us to memorize one each week. Frankly, my friend, I laughed when the pastor advanced such a frightening thought at my age of seventy-six. I was doing good as a youth to memorize John 3:16 and the twenty-third Psalm. No chance at my age and IQ level! Then the laughing ended abruptly when, in a most alarming voice, God let me know he wanted me to memorize every one of those assigned scriptures. Although memorizing a verse a week might seem as intimidating, you will find it surprisingly easy when you allow God to guide you. In Friendly Fireside Meditations, Don outlines twenty-five verses that will help...
