Martin Willis explores the development of the genre and its surrounding criticism from the early modern period to the present day, focusing on key texts, topics and debates.
Touring the world.... Playing in sold-out, world-famous concert halls.... Accidentally insulting your Rock-Star heroes.... Sex-crazed midget horses.... Ever wondered what it's like to play in a professional orchestra? Martin Willis is the Principal Percussionist with one of Scotland's five national professional orchestras and also one of the country's top freelance players. This is his memoir of thirty years not only as an orchestral player, but also as a drummer in various rock bands during that time, playing to audiences ranging from thousands across Europe and around the world, to twelve people and a bored dog in his home city of Glasgow. In turn hilarious, poignant, controversial and surprisingly informative, this explodes the myth of the 'stuffy' orchestral musician and delivers a heartfelt and honest view of Orchestra-World and some of the players, both sane and otherwise, who inhabit it. "A lively account - a real insight into life in an orchestra" - Jenny Brown, literary agent

Cullman County was established in 1877 in large part from the west side of Blount and the east side of Winston counties. Today, the few old cemeteries which existed in those counties in the early days are found within the borders of Cullman. The cemetery listings in this four volume set were conducted by the author beginning in 2003 and ending in early 2006. An attempt was made to personally visit every cemetery in Cullman County and record information from each readable monument. Volume 3 of this series covers alphabetically cemeteries G through M, beginning with the Good Hope Baptist Church Cemetery and concluding with the Mt. Vernon (West) Baptist Church Cemetery. The volumes are filled with photos of many of the old cemetery sites and notes describing the company and unit of most of the old Civil War era veterans. This set of books is vital to any serious student of Cullman County genealogy and history.
