Böcker av Stark Hunter

This book is about the best 'Headphone Music' ever recorded, at least in the opinion of California writer, Stark Hunter-a baby boomer and old hippie, born in 1952. With a lifetime of listening to all genres of music under his belt, it is his opinion this book contains the best music to hear while wearing headphones, or in today's vernacular, ear buds. Consisting of 27 recommended "headphone" playlists, Hunter spent 13 years reading and researching articles on classical and contemporary music history, plus spending hundreds, perhaps thousands, of hours exploring and listening to recommended albums, cassettes and 8-track tapes, a majority of which were popular in the booming postwar era of the 50's, 60's and 70's.It is hoped the readers of this book will approach these music playlists with calm and curious equanimity. It is also recommended that the reader actually makes the effort to look up these carefully chosen musical masterpieces, and spend quality time listening to them, preferably wearing headphones or ear buds. That is the point of this book. If truth be known, it is a far different (and more satisfying) listening experience when no one else can hear what you, the listener, is hearing-that is, wonderful musical sounds in the privacy of your own ears and mind. There is an indescribable intimacy involved when it is just you, the listener, interacting with the music. Thank goodness for headphones-they provide a Cone of Silence, wherein listeners can escape to their own private worlds of music and sound.Welcome to Mind Tavern

Scenes from the Cerebellum is the 9th literary work to be released through Mind Tavern. It is easy to say that it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what this book is, was or will be. Maybe the best way to explain these pages is: It's a "ghost book," a book about death, the Ultimate Reality in life. The Big Jump. The one event in life we are all waiting for. Included therein is a veritable phalanx of mental and photographic images abounding and manifesting on the pages like hundreds of ectoplasmic filaments, squirming out of my mind in the form of poetic excursions for the curious reader to absorb. As with many poetic works, this one screams the same: This is personal!

If the dead could speak from their graves, what would they tell us, the living, about their insights on life and longevity? In Digested by the Dust, the dead come alive again and reveal details about their historic times in Whittier, California at the turn of the 20th Century, their private lives, successes and failures, their secret loves and fantasies, and finally, the circumstances of their unique deaths, all in extended epitaph form.

Voices From Mt. Olive Cemetery is Stark Hunter's sequel to his first volume of epitaphs, Voices From Clark Cemetery, published in 2012. This new collection of 77 epitaphs, again, examines the lives of 77 early settlers of Whittier, California, during the first three decades of the Twentieth Century. If the dead could speak to us, what would they say?
