Backbeat Earl Palmer s Story is the biography of pioneer rock and roll drummer Earl Palmer . The book is by music journalist Tony Scherman with a foreword by Wynton Marsalis . More than half the text is directly quoted from Palmer, making the book as much an autobiography as it is a biography. The story begins with Palmer as a four year old vaudeville tap dancing tap dancer and continues with the story of New Orleans music and the emergence of a strong rock and roll drumming style featuring the beat music back beat . After his triumphs in the city, Palmer moved to Los Angeles , where he became one of the top session musician s and arrangers of the 1950s through the 1970s, playing on hundreds of hits, from La Bamba song La Bamba to Percy Faith and Frank Sinatra . The sections quoting Palmer are colorful, frank, and direct, giving the full flavor of his life as a musician. For example, speaking of playing on Little Richard s records Richard s music was exciting as a sumbitch. I m not talking about the quality of it. It wasn t quality music. It wasn t no chords. It was just blues. Slippin and Slidin sounded like Good Golly Miss Molly and they both sounded like Lucille . It was exciting because he was exciting. Richard is one of the few people I ve ever recorded with that was just as exciting to watch in the studio as he was in performance. The book includes an extensive discography and notes.

Orphan date May 2011 Biography Work based on Anthroposophy views the human circle of life on one hand as being embedded in the rhythms of nature and the cosmos on the other hand shaped by the individual power of creativity in everyone s Self. History Biography Work goes back to the publications of Bernard Lievegoed in the 1970s. Before this time, there were only widespread references in Rudolf Steiner s comprehensive lecture work, pointing at certain regularities in human s circle of life. Lievegoed summarized these data and introduced a new way of life consultation to the world, using a work process he had developed in co operation with Gudrun Burkhard. Method Biography Consultants support their clients in developing a continuous view of the past in order to achieve a new evaluation of past events in their life. Any single event loses its weight and the process like character of all events and their interaction become more important. Biography Work assumes that any human being is obliged to comply with tasks in life. These life tasks, stemming from our subconscious levels. are the driving force to our behaviour. Biography Work helps to get closer to this central theme the red thread that runs through each life. Biography Work is not supposed to be a therapy. Biography Work is a way of life consultation where consultant and client work together on eye level .
