Derrick Brown is one of the most talented performing artists I have ever encountered. Quiet and unassuming in a one-on-one encounter, he transforms into a colossus on the stage. His unique style engages, moves, and tickles the listener into teary-eyed laughter. He’s hilarious at times with his poignant insight, and yet dead serious to the bull’s eye always. Truth be told, he’s the only person I know who has ever "left his wallet in the afterlife." This book brings as much of him as can be brought to the printed page, and that's a lot. Carole Luther
