Book Description
Every schoolchild in America knows that Benjamin Franklin flew a kite during a thunderstorm in the summer of 1752. Electricity from the clouds above traveled down the kite's twine and threw a spark from a key that Franklin had attached to the string. He thereby proved that lightning and electricity were one. What many of us do not realize is that Franklin used this breakthrough in his day's intensely competitive field of electrical science to embarrass his French and English rivals. His kite experiment was an international event and the Franklin that it presented to the world -- a homespun, rural philosopher-scientist performing an immensely important and dangerous experiment with a child's toy -- became the Franklin of myth. In fact, this sly presentation on Franklin's part so charmed the French that he became an irresistible celebrity when he traveled there during the American Revolution. The crowds and the journalists, and the ladies, cajoled the French powers into joining us in our fight against the British. What no one has successfully proven until now -- and what few have suggested -- is that Franklin never flew the kite at all. Benjamin Franklin was an enthusiastic hoaxer. And with the electric kite, he performed his greatest hoax. As Tucker shows, it was this trick that may have won the American Revolution.

Book Description
Show Biz: The Big Band Way Tommy Tucker and his Orchestra _____________________ A Memoir by his wife Dare This memoir by Dare Tucker describes the unusual experiences she and her husband had during their experience on the road as a major Big Band orchestra. After Dare married Tommy, she joined him and his popular band as they traveled back and forth across the country for many one-night or one-week stands. They stared out with cars to transport the many musicians, their instruments, the vocalists; the group eventually got so large they had to hire buses to make their way to the next gig. It's interesting to read Dare's observation of the scene. She describes in detail the variety of adjustments that bands had to make as they performed at theaters and adapted their activities so they could be successful at record making. Tommy's big hit, "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" was so well received it became a Gold record. Their daughter Trudy who published this notes: "What remains so curious to me is that the very same tricks they did on stage, during recordings, and on TV we continue to see every day as we watch talk shops on TV.
