Mike first began to develop his idea for the book in 1993. For over 15 years he has made notes and stashed them in a file and written a little here and there. He has almost always worked two jobs and his busy life did not leave much time to write, but he could never quit thinking about it. Finally he decided to finish it, if for no other reason than he could get the idea out of his head and quit daydreaming about it. In ancient Israel, God granted one wish to a Solomon and he became the richest and wisest of kings. What if God did it again, but this time it was for a teenager named Solomon Sanchez? Instead of choosing wisdom, what if he chose to be the greatest guitarist in the world? Anyone who has ever fantasized about being rich and famous, anyone who has dreamed of being a rock star, anyone who has enjoyed playing music video games will enjoy this story. It is a wild and fun ride with many twists and turns. There is much to gain from Solomon and his many mistakes and successes.

For the rest of his life he, too, will be trying to fly. As Morrison follows Milkman from his rustbelt city to the place of his family’s origins, she introduces an entire cast of strivers and seeresses, liars and assassins, the inhabitants of a fully realized Black world. “Morrison moves easily in and out of the lives and thoughts of her characters, luxuriating in the diversity of circumstances and personality, and revelling in the sound of their voices and of her own, which echoes and elaborates theirs.” —The New Yorker

In the late 19th century, Spanish guitar maker Antonio de Torres established a standard size and form for the classical guitar; in the early 20th century, musicians developed advanced playing techniques that contemporary recitalists refined. By the late 1940s, composers had begun to compose music specifically for the classical guitar, and in the past fifty years there have been over 550 pieces composed expressly for the duo of classical guitar and solo voice. This work provides for the first time an annotated catalog of such compositions. Each entry includes the composer; title; language in which the work is to be sung; dates of composition and copyright; publisher and catalog number; author and text source; voice type required to sing the song as indicated by the score; range and tessitura; and difficulty of the piece for the singer. The annotations touch on additional matters such as whether the piece is part of a song cycle or a collection, and its duration.
