Samuel Costello, the musician, takes us through a very original seventy-one-year journey that moves from childhood through the ups and downs and adventures of his creative life. The never-ending involvement of his fertile mind with music, his computer career, family, friends, theater, writing, the study of the Elizabethan period, and even the Shakespeare authorship debate along with travel observations engage the reader in this unusual biography. Costello says, "In spite of the difficulties I have had with my health since I left my computer career, my diverse interests have made Parkinson's not as important in my life, so I smile frequently and continue to enjoy my life and extended family."
