And Then There Were Two
I don’t want to interrupt my writing momentum too long this morning by blogging, but it seems like a good time to provide an update on my book project and reflect on how far I have come in the past year.
The working title of my book is Finding My Musical Family: A Tale of Crackerjack Bands, Hometown Boosters, and a Great-Grandfather’s Legacy. It is a combination memoir/history book about my quest to uncover the incredible career of my paternal great-grandfather, G. Oliver Riggs, a pioneering Minnesota bandmaster. In the process, I gain a greater appreciation for how music connects people across generations. That is my current elevator speech about the book!
As of this morning, I have two chapters left to write: Chapters 24 and 26, which are G.
