Strings Attached is the much anticipated authorised biography of John Williams; one of the most accomplished and celebrated musicians of his generation. From his childhood in Australia to his stellar career in London and around the world; John Williams has lived an extraordinary life. Master of the classical repertoire; he took the guitar to a wider audience with the band SKY and by his championing of the music of South America and Africa. William Starling came to know John Williams through their mutual friend; jazz guitarist John Etheridge. As their friendship developed; he put it to the maestro that it was time for a biography. To his lasting amazement; the famously private Williams agreed. Strings Attached is the product of extensive research and uniquely privileged access to John Williams; his family; friends and musical associates. It is the first telling of the fascinating life and career of a world-renowned musician and; equally; the story of a man and the making of his identity.

Great plays that have languished in the shadows all these years. They created great controversy; especially SEX and THE DRAG; which was banned from playing in New York City. It was about Drag Queens and Mae was brave to try to produce that play. She was a pioneer; and I am waiting for some savvy producer to bring back these plays. Wonderful read; great laughs.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. All the worlds a stageBy Valentin MaratAnd this woman was quite the player. A thrill to find out that Mae West had written plays. It doesnt surprise me as this woman was an icon to beat all icons.A great book and a great companion to seeing her films and discovering her life in greater depth.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
