Book Description
As an old priest told me, “a good priest never really retires; he just finds new ways to carry on what he has always done”. George Six is one such person. Since almost as soon as I met him, he impressed me as someone who had been given something to do by God. It was not until I entered seminary that I realized that he is very much like Elijah, the Old Testament prophet. George understands sin to be the consequence of forces of evil in human society so that salvation must involve the redemption of the social order as well as the redemption of the individual. Similar to Elijah, George has been either a prophetic voice or a thorn in the sides to many in the political and ecclesiastical hierarchies. He has not ceased to be such a presence and he probably shall not cease until his light goes off on Earth and re-ignites in Heaven. George has a peculiar ability to cause one to feel included in the details of that which he loves: peace and justice. Far from being an armchair theologian, he prefers to become one with those he recognizes as having been on the wrong end of a good deal. It is from that position that he continues to bring forward his own talents and gifts so that he may act in their benefit. He is a priest in his soul and a prophet in his temperament. When you read this book, that shall become abundantly evident. Frank Hawkins, M.Div., D.Min.

The Complete Lyrics of Johnny Mercer
Author: Johnny Mercer
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0307265196
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 489
Book Description
The seventh volume in Knopf’s critically acclaimed Complete Lyrics series, published in Johnny Mercer’s centennial year, contains the texts to more than 1,200 of his lyrics, several hundred of them published here for the first time. Johnny Mercer’s early songs became staples of the big band era and were regularly featured in the musicals of early Hollywood. With his collaborators, who included Richard A. Whiting, Harry Warren, Hoagy Carmichael, Jerome Kern, and Harold Arlen, he wrote the lyrics to some of the most famous standards, among them, “Too Marvelous for Words,” “Jeepers Creepers,” “Skylark,” “I’m Old-Fashioned,” and “That Old Black Magic.” During a career of more than four decades, Mercer was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song an astonishing eighteen times, and won four: for his lyrics to “On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe” (music by Warren), “In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening” (music by Carmichael), and “Moon River” and “Days of Wine and Roses” (music for both by Henry Mancini). You’ve probably fallen in love with more than a few of Mercer’s songs–his words have never gone out of fashion–and with this superb collection, it’s easy to see that his lyrics elevated popular song into art.
