This book is about American jazz history and a very special place in San Francisco that was called Earthquake McGoon's, which was one of the longest running jazz clubs in America.

McClairne has done it again! The same author that brought America "Wake Up America (Attack on America)" has surprised us all again with his genius. Tupac and Elvis (Inevitably Restless) is a new hot book for the new millennium. This book of commemoration surpasses all the biographies that are on shelves and the biographies that have been on shelves in the past. It has gotten great recognition, reviews, and great acclaims. No other book compares and no other book captures the essences of two phenomenon artists the way this book does. This is not your regular or ordinary biography. No, this book is quite diverse from others and is full of controversy.

In the book, McClairne links the deaths of Tupac Amaru Shakur and Elvis Aaron Presley in a way that's astounding and a way that many wouldn't have ever thought of. He also links their unlinked lives. McClairne depicts and paints a picture of Tupac that's quite contrary to what the much older "White America" saw him as and depicts Elvis as the true "King" that he is and was, which is very opposite to what many of "Black America" thinks and feels.

The "Seven Day Theory" and other theories that plagues Tupac's death are discussed and the author explains why Tupac's death wasn't a fraudulent death. Artists, such as Michael Jackson, Jackie Wilson, Madonna, the Jackson 5, Jada Pinkett, Britney Spears, Usher Raymond, N'Sync, James Brown, and Ja Rule, are also mentioned in regards to Tupac and Elvis, so sit back and enjoy.

Author Otto D'Agnolo, an award winning producer/engineer/writer with 20 years in the music industry breaks rank with his peers in this gleeful heralding of the end of the music business as we've always known it! Referred to as a "novel rant", Otto mixes his vision of the future with stories from the past to describe how the current state of turmoil in the music industry is actually creating tomorrow's nirvana for music lovers. He's convinced we are seeing the dawn of an amazing age of creativity. Otto skillfully takes the reader on a tour through the music industry with stories that are sometimes as comical as they are absurd.

Can you imagine a world where music is legally free? Otto can and he lays out his arguments for it's inevitability in this sometimes funny and sometimes scary look at the future of new music. A free CD is included with the book. It is by the self proclaimed "Conqueror or Music" - Caesar Bach. Otto uses Caesar's record to demonstrate the crazy path of filters music currently passes through from music maker to music lover. He also outlines how these filters are being removed and why the new music scene will be a much more fun place to be.

While the word "illegal" seems to dominate today's discussions of digital music, Otto explains how most people are missing the boat and have no real understanding of the impact this "symptom of our digital evolution" is having on the world at large. He brings a fresh perspective to the whole concept as he describes his vision of the future for the music industry, which includes much more creativity, originality and legally free music for the consumer.

This unique book presents a survey of cultural activities that occurred in Puerto Rico following 1898: the American Occupation of the island. To this end, the author has included information related to the economic and cultural regression, and explanation of the American military "take over". Puerto Rican musical festivities, religious feast day observances, band concerts, public school programs, and the activities of well known Puerto Rican composers of that day. It discusses the nineteenth century development of a Puerto Rican musical tradition which island author musicians claimed declined during that period. It shows that there was an economic regression and states reasons for the belief that people experienced cultural regression. It presents evidence that Puerto Rico not only retained its Hispanic character, but also its Hispanic culture after 1898.

The book includes general information on the era following the Spanish American War and five appendices that list musical activities, i.e., concerts at the Ateneo Puertorriqueño, celebration of Holy Days with orchestral music in the churches, and band concerts in the city parks.

One appendix lists music manuscripts found in the choir lofts of San Juan Cathedral, San Francisco and San José Churches dating from this era. Earlier authors could not have known of some of this music since it was unpublished. There are also photographs of some of the leading musicians of that time.
