Grandpa Had a Long One

Autor Joel Samberg
en Limba Engleză Hardback
"To be a Benny Bell meant to be spirited, witty, funny and sometimes a little crazy. But to be a Benny Bell also meant to be obstinate, paranoid, suspicious and sometimes a little hasty. "Given all the facts about his traits and personality, it is no surprise that one of the great mysteries of Ben's life and career is whether or not he ever stood a chance of becoming the famous Tin Pan Alley tunesmith and vaudeville comic he set out to be. Could he have been one of the select few to schmooze with Sammy Cahn and trade shticks with George Burns? Could he have been a card-carrying Friars Club member who regularly headlined in Miami, Los Angeles, Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas? "Maybe he could have. But he wasn't."

Notă biografică

Joel decided to become a writer at age 14. He wrote a screenplay when he was 12 and sent it to MGM. Though the studio turned it down, an executive in his return note made him feel as if he should never give up his dream. Then his ninth-grade English teacher accused him of plagiarizing a book report because she said it was too well-written for a 14-year-old. She sent a nasty note home to his parents. But he did not plagiarize that report! He just takes the art and craft very seriously. From that point on he's never given up. He's been a magazine editor, corporate communications writer, and journalist. His books include two novels, Blowin' in the Wind and Almost Like Praying, and five nonfiction books on such topics as Karen Carpenter and Benny Bell (the guy who wrote Shaving Cream).
