Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

One of the country's most popular bandleaders recounts his experiences on the road, on country estates, in sophisticated clubs, and at elite parties, in a romantic account replete with observations on music, high society, and show business. Reprint. 25,000 first printing.

Nota de la solapa:

told with wit and charm . . . It is a sprightly, engaging, and at times hilarious look back at a life spent in music, show business, and what used to be called society."
The Boston Globe

"A bittersweet gem of a book . . . The story of Duchin's life has an elegiac aura of glamour and tragedy that might have come directly from the imagination of F. Scott Fitzgerald."
The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Peter Duchin's glamorous story is about absent fathers, surrogate mothers, and dwelling on the edges of money and power in a tuxedoed world."
Gay Talese

"A great read . . . This book brings back marvelous memories of a very special time."  
Frank Sinatra
