I just stumbled across a book that everyone here will want to read. It called Talker and is the biography of showman Bobby Reynolds. As far as I can tell it is only available on Amazon as a Kindle book. The book is written in Bobby's voice and it very true to who he is. The only problem is that you have to know Bobby to get the full effect of these words. In describing his mother, Bobby uses the terms "nut" and "fruitcake". In print these sound cute, but when Bobby spoke these words they had a real edge to them.
I have only just started reading the book, so I can't say if this trend is continued, but I have already encountered several transcriptions of various pitches that Bobby has done. This alone is worth the price of the book. My only complaint is that I can't seem to change the size of the print and the font is VERY small and hard to read. Get this book. |

There are a number of errors in the book and many misspelled names, but it is a great read that all the folks will enjoy.
