Top Secret Bluegrass Band ~

Jerry Taylor, Jackie, Steve, Morgan & Andrew Caswell

Appearing at the Back 40 Bar & Grill last Saturday evening, a top-notch bluegrass band ~ forth generation of a musical family.

Eileen Singing "The Carpenter"

The Caswell Family performance brings back memories of when the well-known Taylor Family played bluegrass.  Today daughter, Jackie, and her husband Steve have become a popular band with two CDs to their credit.

John began publishing stories of St. Thomas, Ontario, the city where he grew up.  Today he has a long list of titles, many of which appeal to a world-wide audience.  Out of the Park:  The Cogitations of Babe Ruth; Inside the Wright Brothers, Flight is Possible; Water Lane, The Pilgrimage of Christopher Marlowe ~ to name a few.

John quickly moved into e-books after publishing in hardcover and paperback.  He has a unique approach to delivering his knowledge of writing and literature.  For each novel that he writes, he also publishes a companion volume titled "The Making of...."  For example, the book following his book about the Wright Brothers is titled The Making of Inside the Wright Brothers:  In Search of Form and Meaning VII. These are books that indeed are useful to writers and students of literature.  And yes, John is a retired secondary-school teacher who taught English and Drama who continues to teach.

John will be in The Neat L'l Bookshop Thursday, April 18, 1:00 p.m.  The topic:  Ballads.  Everyone welcome.
