Ska

An Oral History

By: Heather Augustyn

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Before Bob Marley brought reggae to the world, before Jimmy Cliff and Peter Tosh, before thousands of musicians played a Jamaican rhythm, there were the men and women who created ska music, a blend of jazz, American rhythm and blues, and the indigenous music of the Caribbean. This book tells the story of ska music and its development from Jamaica to England, where the music took on a distinctively different tone, and finally to the rest of the world. Through the words of legendary artists, gleaned from more than a decade of interviews, the story of ska music is finally told by those who were there.

Don Drummond

The Genius and Tragedy of the World's Greatest Trombonist

By: Heather Augustyn

This is a comprehensive biography of a brilliant musician who forever shaped the course of ska, reggae, and popular music worldwide, only to take the life of his lover and in so doing, destroy his career at the age of 30. In his short life Don Drummond created an enduring legacy despite poverty, class separation, mental illness, racial politics, and the exploitation of his work. The words of Drummond's childhood friends, classmates, musicians, medical staff, legal counsel, and teachers enliven this story of his "unusual mind." They recall the early days in the recording studio, playing the instrumental backup for Bob Marley and others, and the nights in the Rasta camps where musicians burned the midnight oil and more. They remember the gyrations of his lover, Margarita, the Rumba Queen, as she tantalized audiences at Club Havana; tell what happened that tragic night when Drummond stabbed Margarita four times; reveal details of the trial (delayed more than a year as Drummond was ruled mentally unfit) and offer insights into Drummond's death in a mental asylum at age 35.

Women in Jamaican Music

By: Heather Augustyn

As the ubiquitous Jamaican musician Bob Marley once famously sang, "half the story has never been told." This rings particularly true for the little-known women in Jamaican music who comprise significantly less than half of the Caribbean nation's musical landscape. This book covers the female contribution to Jamaican music and its subgenres through dozens of interviews with vocalists, instrumentalists, bandleaders, producers, deejays and supporters of the arts. Relegated to marginalized spaces, these pioneering women fought for their claim to the spotlight amid oppressive conditions to help create and shape Jamaica's musical heritage.

The Anunnaki Connection

Sumerian Gods, Alien DNA, and the Fate of Humanity (From Eden to Armageddon)

By: Heather Lynn

This definitive guide connects a diverse range of new and existing theories about the Anunnaki, while exploring their possible connection to humanity’s past, present, and future. Over 6,000 years ago, the world’s first civilization, the Sumerians, were recording stories of strange celestial gods who they believed came from the heavens to create mankind. These gods, known as the Anunnaki, are often neglected by mainstream historians. The Sumerians themselves are so puzzling; scholars have described their origin as “The Sumerian Problem.” With so little taught about the ancient Sumerians in our history books, alternative theories have emerged. This has led many to wonder, about the true story behind the Sumerians and their otherworldly gods, the Anunnaki. Lynn traces the evolution of these Mesopotamian gods throughout the Ancient Near East, analyzing the religion, myth, art, and symbolism of the Sumerians, investigating: Who are the Anunnaki? How accurate are the current Sumerian text translations, and how do we know for sure who to believe? Is there a connection between the Anunnaki and other ancient gods? Where are the Anunnaki now? Will their possible return spell the end of our world?

Delivered from a Hot Mess 2too

By: Heather Marie

Hey, This is me... Heather Marie sharing the mistakes I've made in my life. The ups and the downs the laughter and the frowns. This is my second edition of my memoirs. When you read the first, you too will see how far God has brought me. I'm not where I want to be, but I'm on my way, and having a personal relationship with God always saves the day! Everyone needs to get to know God for themselves, and not for anyone else. We came in this world by ourselves and we're leaving the same way. Why not get closer to the One who created you today. With God by your side, there's nothing you can't do. Put God first, and He'll show you!. I'm no prophet, evangelist, or preacher but if you want to give me a title I'll be a teacher. And my class is, Building your relationship with God 101. If reading my struggles brings anyone closer to our Creator, I will do cartwheels and jump for joy sooner than later. I can't thank you enough for taking the time out of your busy day to read what I have to say. #blessingscomingyourway
