Stories From an Old Man: Tales of Love, War, and Music

By Eddie Melin

With humor and zest for life, Eddie Melin relates stories spanning the ninety-six beginning in 1912. One reviewer said that reading his anecdotes is like having a good cup of coffee with an old friend. The stories reflect the best America has to offer--hunting rabbits in the Missouri countryside, love and laughter during the Depression, an exploding keg of home brew in a college apartment, a cherished Christmas party for war orphans in France, and fighting literary censorship. Eddie's remembrances of life as a musician in New York in the 30's and as a morale officer for an army hospital in France will make you smile. The story of his dad's generosity will warm you heart. These delightful tales may remind you of some of your own or make you yearn for a simpler time.
