Bøger af Jeff Burkhart

As a lighting director, Jeff Burkhart crisscrossed America and the world from1976 through 2007. "Randomly Accessed Memories" are the(printable) excerpts of his touring adventures. Imagine if you can, Anthony Bourdain meets Jack Kerouac or "Eat, Pray, Love" goes psychedelic. The stories and insights are sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking - and always true (excerpted to protect the innocent and the guilty). This saga of triumph and tragedy recounts a rite of passage that involves some of the biggest names in show business - people who may have shaped your own rite of passage. Like all mythic journeys, "Randomly Accessed Memories" begins in youthful naivete, falls into cynicism and finally arrives at resolution and absolution. Join Jeff in this fantastic foray into a side of show business most people never get the chance to experience between the covers of, "Randomly Accessed Memories".

"Shaken not stirred," we have all heard the saying. It is part of what makes Ian Fleming's super spy James Bond so super. It is not the fact that he drinks martinis, it is how he drinks them that matters. Cocktails are about style and in today's complicated world of drink many of us need a lifestyle guide. 20 Years Behind Bars is that guide; part trade manual and part psychological introspective, it combines real life observations (by a real life bartender) with facts and information in an amusing and irreverent fashion. Take one part Mr. Boston's bartending guide, one part Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential, a dash of Steve Dublanica's Waiter Rant, combine and you have the pure entertainment that is 20 Years Behind Bars.
