'If you’ve heard this story before, don’t stop me, because I’d like to hear it again'Groucho MarxIn this entertaining collection of true stories from the past you will read about several murderers, one who killed in a blind rage, one who was honest, one who thought he was Billy the Kid and one who killed because of a cut on his thumb. You will meet bank robbers, faith healers, a priest who went underground, a mastermind who wasn’t and his lawyer who was, a dancing princess, the Davy Crockett aficionado who was kidnapped and a teacher who was not, a pianist in need of a haircut and a guy who was told 'you’re going to need a bigger boat', and many more. All of them were simply...people. Some heroic, some tragic, some mysterious, some cruel, and some amusing (some intentionally and some not). In short, they were just humans trying to master that most difficult of human endeavours, surviving, some having greater success with it than others. But they were all interesting.And every individual you will meet from 'Three-Fingered Louie' to the lady named 'Woman of the Falling Snow' did (or do) exist and every story you will read is absolutely true. Keith Black, in his conversational style, will make you laugh and make you cry, but, most of all, you will be entertained. Enjoy!

  • After They Tried Everything Else
    Keith Black
    It has often been said that 'Americans always do the right thing after they tried everything else'. It’s a great quote, but when you stop to think about it, what does it really mean? Was everything done prior to the final act 'wrong'?  Did the goodness of the last effort outweigh the negative preceding activities? The truth is that the history of the United States of America is...
