STATES OF MIND is a collection of the author's letters from Santa Fe, New Mexico, and St David's, Pennsylvania, to a very literate and old-fashioned gentleman in San Francisco. Written between 1993 and 2000, they are insightful, humorous and sometimes grouchy. They reflect two very diverse places in the American landscape-some would say no two places could be more different!-and the author deftly switches roles with changes in locale.

CLIPPINGS FROM THE VINE consists of selections from the author's seven published books, and concludes with a series of contemporary personal essays, observations and opinions as we enter the Obama Era of hopefully positive change. Ranging from Coast to Coast, all over the Inter-mountain West, and covering a period of almost sixty years, the author deftly chronicles his experiences and the characters he has encountered (such as desert rat "Mr. James," featured on the cover). He does so with wit, insight and frequent discontent. These selections can be read as a cross section of a greatly changing America. Whether for the best or not is always on the author's mind. Clippings From The Vine is "solid America," of a type we shall see little or any of in the future "instant media society." And, the author asks you not to judge him, until you've walked the streets of Victor, Colorado...

With opinions and personal testimonies from the artists themselves, this book takes a detailed look at the huge impact that Mexican music and culture has had--and continues to have--on Country music in its various forms. This very American form of cultural expression has changed over the last few years, but Mexico--with its bordertowns, beaches, colonial architecture and ancient ruins conjuring up a range of powerful images--has remained an influential presence in Nashville, Texas, and even places like Australia and South Africa. Featuring contributions from Merle Haggard, Jimmy Buffett, Randy Travis, Dwight Yoakam, Jessi Colter, Johnny Rodriguez and Flaco Jimenez, this book reveals the unique and largely undocumented relationship between "America's Music" and Mexico.

God is Alive and Playing Third Base for the Appleton Papermakers does not have all the answers needed to make sense of the 20th century and beyond, but with tongue only partly in cheek the book claims to find some solace in a kid's game played by adults. "Grampa, how did you know it was God playing third base for the Appleton Papermakers?" "Because He could perform miracles." "What miracles could He perform?" "He could hit Lowell Grosskopf's curveball." "That doesn't sound like a miracle to me." "That's because you never tried to hit Lowell Grosskopf's curveball."
