|  | | A Virtuoso's Affairs to Remember
The Virtuoso is a story of a young musical aspirant from the streets of New Orleans to the great venues of Concert Halls. From his first love, jazz, he finds himself up against forces that change his direction. This struggle, mixed with his great love for a woman 14 years his senior and a prostitute, finds Jack Dupree exploring life over a twenty year period that is filled with temptations played out in convoluted sub-plots that make for some interesting story lines.
The Virtuoso is a story of love and lust, weakness and strength. It is a story of ego and the human condition. Simply put, a story of one man and one woman against a backdrop of music and prostitution. A young, wanna be jazz musician with a singular drive - music, enjoys the pleasures and favors of women as they provide him with paths in life to find his way; his Tao. Young Jack Dupree spent his early years in a "Big Easy" lower socioeconomic environment, not unlike so many others. No story would be complete without a complimentary force that can both help | |  | | The Pianoman

“The Pianoman” is a story of romance. A story of love between lovers, between family and friends, and the oldest story of all - the story of human frailty against the spear of temptation. The lives of John Dupree and Laura De Gravolet as well as Sophia Berry are played out against the canvas of music and on the darker side - prostitution and murder. Be prepared for three dimensional characters and convoluted plots. "The Pianoman" will transport you - drawing you into the story to live each scene.br />

What is the main theme of this book? Well, one could suspect that it was about music, but that would be only partially correct. Or about prostitution since the story is laced with Sophia and Aunt Clara, two ladies that are in the business? Well, not so again. Perhaps why shouldn’t be the question anyway. Perhaps what is the question we should explore? What is the story about?
Romance? Absolutely! Love? You betcha. Hmmm! Sounds familiar, like hasn’t someone else written this stuff? Of course! I think one of those stories was, “War and Peace”, or “Romeo and Juliette”. They’re not my stories, of course. Then what makes my story different? Only about 160,000 words, plot, sub-plots, characters and of course, the author’s name. Of course, my story is my story and I want to make it your story.
