Hey There!
You may have noticed a book I published on Amazon titled A Door to Old Worlds. Well, I also have a book on Amazon Kindle titled A Door to New Worlds. In fact, the New Worlds came before the Old Worlds.
Who knows how this all happened. It just did, and there’s no explaining it or understanding it. ELLIE and CHRIS SWENSON were chosen to make a fantastic journey into the American musical past, a journey that changed their lives forever.
Their experience, though, began with their great-great grandfather and his twin sister, chosen to make the same fantastic journey almost a century earlier, which leads one to wonder why these four individuals were chosen. Eleanor and Christian were gifted and brilliant students of music. Likewise, their great-great grandchildren, Ellie and Chris both showed early signs of extreme musical talent and interest. Come to find out, all serious musicians make the same journey, a fact no one knows except those who have experienced it.
Go to Amazon Kindle and read my first book, A Door to New Worlds. You will not only be dazzled with an interesting story, you my also learn some important musically historic information about our country’s musical past that happens to be intertwined with its future .
You will be especially delighted if you are a Czech enthusiast since the central character is one of the greatest of Czech composers, Antonin Dvorak. You will find the answer to these questions:
*Why did Dvorak come to America?
*Why was his presence in America significant for the world of music?
*Why did he and his family spend a whole summer in Iowa?
*Why did he want to visit Minnesota?
*Why did Ellie and Chris go with him to New York city?
Read the book and come back and answer the above queries.
Bye for now!
