Author, artist, musician, teacher, world traveler and all-around crusty curmudgeon Clyde Stewart writes the unauthorized autobiography of his inner child. Probably everyone yearns to be successful with music and not all have either the opportunity or the ambition to fulfill this dream. John, the hero of this book, rises like Horatio Alger to great success with the help of several mentors. This is a feel-good story about a nine-year-old boy and his eighty-two-year-old music teacher in a touching January-December romance. Along the way, John learns important life lessons. A reader of any age can find something to enjoy in this story.
