hats off to amazon's used service; i had been looking for this book for ages until i found it here. had i discovered this book when i first picked up a guitar at age sixteen, i would be a much better player today. it's all in here, with cool pictures and sound too (record included).

They may not be good songs, but that's going to be your own fault. The knowledge about scales is brief and easy to understand.

This book will really help with those improv guitar solos. Don't expect miracles to happen though. Songwriting is still a challenging process, but this book will make it a little bit easier.

Nashville Tales starts from the town's exciting beginnings from the people Nashville, Davidson County is named for, to the earliest pioneers dramatic stories, on into the 20th C. A natural story teller, Louise Davis wrote the best story on Revolutionary War General, William Lee Davidson, I've ever read! (I'm a fan of this hero). She also brings to life the times and heroics of the well-known and lesser known people that have shaped this town, the state and our country! Couldn't put it down. TN history lovers will find renewed spark as she reveals how a tiny log cabin community grew into the huge city today. Can't ever part from it.

Showcasing approximately 200 black-and-white images, this historical retrospective tells the story of Nashville's dynamic African-American community through visual memorabilia, vintage photographs, and accompanying captions.

Robert Benson has been a wonderful addition to my prayer life. He writes words that I could only think in my heart. This volume from the United Methodist Upper Room is filled with pictures of their Nativity creche collection. Mr. Benson writes about Joseph, Mary and other participants in the nativity story. The book is one I will read and reread each Advent season. It would be an excellent gift for friends and family.

The collaborative effort of the Junior League of Nashville, Notably Nashville: A Medley Of Tastes And Traditions is a compendium of superbly presented recipes, cooking tips, recipe histories, and a collage of the people, places and events that have justifiably proclaimed this Tennessee city as the "Athens of the South". From Black-Eyed Pea Dip; Beer Batter Bread; Marinated Strawberry Chicken Salad; and Spaghetti Squash with Tomatoes and Basil; to Pork Tenderloin with Sauteed Peppers; Wild Duck Gumbo; Grilled Brown Sugar Salmon; Creamy Chicken Enchiladas; and Chocolate Fondue, Notably Nashville is wonderfully illustrated, "kitchen cook friendly", and enthusiastically recommended!

I received this cookbook as a gift when my son was 14 months old. I was starting to law school and my mother knew I wouldn't have time to spend an hour cooking dinner for my family every night. Now, three years later, I'm graduating from law school with honors, my family is well-fed and happy, and my in-laws whisper to each other how amazing it is that I've managed to cook dinner at home most nights and still maintain my GPA! Thank you, Parents' Magazine!

This cookbook is divided into chapters according to the type of meal and the complexity of the recipe. You have Quick Everyday Breakfasts, Quick Everyday Lunches, Quick Everyday Dinners, Weekend Breakfasts, Weekend Lunches, Weekend Dinners, and some additional chapters on meal-planning, snacks and desserts, and party menus. The recipes themselves are plain and simple good food. There are some "fancier" recipes that I've used to impress dinner guests (lamb, pork tenderloin, etc.), but even those are easy to follow and relatively quick to prepare. Each recipe has serving sizes, nutrition guidelines, cooking time, and prep time, all in easy-to-read format.

A word of warning: The recipes in this book were designed with healthfulness in mind and they tend to be low in fat, sodium, and carbs. However, this book is not for parents trying to follow specialty diets. If you are wanting a book that shows you the three easy steps of raising a vegan child, look elsewhere. But if you want to be one step closer to walking in your kitchen and waving your magic wand for a wholesome delicious meal, buy this book!

Jim Squires spins a wonderful memoir of his family and old time southern politics. From stolen ballot boxes to court room shenanigans in Nashville before it was the country music capitol. This book has a lot to offer; from the "Bubbas" and "Bubettes" of local politics to the war between Bobby Kennedy and Jimmy Hoffa as it was fought out in a Nashville courtroom. Squires proves that truth can be more exciting than fiction

I found this book to be very educational. I checked it out at the Bellevue Community Library and I am now going to buy my own copy. This book is about some of my ancesters.

My grandfather, Carl Davids (m. Waldine Jordon) and father, Jerry Davids (m. Patsy Hulan) are the Davids of "Davids Wrecker Service" mentioned in the book. This was formerly located at 6115 Charlotte Pike. The book refers to the Casa Loma that was at this location prior to the Wrecker Service. As a child, my brother and I walked upon the location of the old house and the well. I was told some of the story then and read some more about it in this book.

My Mother was a Hulan. My Grandfather,William Hulan (m. Frances Evans)controlled Cleece's Ferry for a short period of time. He passed away April 16, 1990. My grandmother is currently in a nursing home. My mother has a clipping from the Tennessean of him on the Ferry and the article written about him. I can't remember but either his grandmother or his g-grandmother was Katherine Gower, the first school teacher of Gower Elementry School/Church that was originally on Gower School Road.

My grandfather was adopted and had many brothers and sisters that were adopted as well. He was able to meet his biological mother before she passed away a few years ago....
