WHAT I’M SPINNING NOW

SpinningBeatlesBBC2Baja

On Air — Live At The BBC Volume 2.

Non-stop fun, non-stop joy.

These BBC recordings, mostly done live in a studio without overdubs, feature The Beatles in a transitional stage — moving from inspired garage band and veteran club performers to sublime pop craftsmen.

Every step of their journey was, in its own way, miraculous.

A NEW AMAZON CUSTOMER REVIEW

ChristmasWestCoverSSBaja

. . . of my book of Western Christmas stories:

Joy to the World!

Mr Fonvielle’s Christmas stories will make you smile. In each story, an unlikely subject shows or is shown a tender generosity that will never be forgotten. Christmas is the occasion for such generosity, little gifts of grace that sometimes have the power to transform a life, or end one with unexpected sweetness. Mr Fonvielle captures the spirit that makes Christmas a universal holiday; and, as always in his writing, the heroes and heroines represent the fringe of society who are naturally drawn to the freedom of the West. These vignettes evoked some of my own Christmas memories, and served to remind me what the holiday is all about.
