Eldon Davis Rathburn (1916-2008), one of the most multi-dimensional, prolific, and endlessly fascinating composers of the twentieth century, wrote more music than any other Canadian composer of his generation. During a long and productive career that spanned seventy-five years, Rathburn served for thirty years as a staff composer with the National Film Board of Canada (1947-76), scored the first generation of IMAX films, and created a diverse catalogue of orchestral and chamber works. With the aid of extensive archival and documentary materials, They Shot, He Scored chronicles Rathburn's life and works, beginning with his formative years in Saint John, New Brunswick, and his breakthrough in Los Angeles in connection with Arnold Schoenberg and the LA Philharmonic Orchestra. The book follows his work at the NFB, his close encounters with some of the most celebrated international figures in his field, and his collaboration with the team of innovators who launched the IMAX film corporation. James Wright undertakes a close analytical reading of Rathburn's film and concert scores to outline his methods, compositional techniques, influences, and idiosyncratic approach to instrumentation, as well as his proto-postmodern proclivity for borrowing from diverse styles and genres. Authoritative and insightful, They Shot, He Scored illuminates the extraordinary career of an unsung creative force in the film and music industry.

Banjo Man tells the story of Susan Willson Reese, a widow, retired schoolteacher, and accomplished bluegrass and oldaEUR"time banjo picker. A native of the fictional community of Willson's Cove in the North Carolina mountains, she has been trying to find one of the many handcrafted fretless banjos her grandpa, Luther Willson, built back in the early 1900s. Her quest has been a twentyaEUR"year search of futility. Grandpa had been a wellaEUR"known luthier and musician in the mountains of North Carolina, building fiddles, lap dulcimers, and fretless banjos from the early part of the twentieth century until he died in the 1950s. Before World War I, he began taking them by train to St. Petersburg, Florida, and selling them, leaving his wife and several children for weeks and even months at a time. When Susan meets Dr. John "Mac" McBride, a romance follows, and she becomes Mrs. McBride. While on their honeymoon, she finally stumbles on one of Grandpa's banjos along with the banjo's owner, the accomplished banjo picker and singer Harry Harvey. This discovery opens a whole new can of worms: scandals, identity issues, secrets unveiled, and more. Susan learns that life, as she has known it, has been built on deception. Suspicions, denials, searches in dusty attics, and secret stashes bring the large Willson clan to a new understanding about their history. Not only is Susan's entire life challenged, but she comes faceaEUR"toaEUR"face with her own need for the faith she has set aside over the last several decades. Are her questions about her identity ever resolved? Will these events destroy a closeaEUR"knit mountain clan? Banjo Man introduces a full cast of mostly senior citizens, including nursing home residents, Susan's Aunt Carrie and others, who are intricately involved in Susan's drama.

Adrienne Staff and Sally Goldenbaum pluck the heartstrings in this tender story of a young nun learning how to be a woman in love. After a childhood under her father’s strict rules, followed by five years as a nun, Laurie O’Neill wants a little independence. So she ventures to visit a friend and is greeted by a handsome, shirtless, banjo-pickin’ guy named Rick Westin. Life in a convent certainly hasn’t prepared Laurie for the effect of Rick’s sleepy grin and bare chest. How would a “normal” girl react to such temptation? Laurie’s instincts terrify her, but she didn’t shed the habit just to watch other people live their lives. Rick Westin has built quite a reputation as a banjo player, but in all his days on the road he’s never met a woman like Laurie. Something about her vulnerability and captivating innocence makes him want to sing. He’ll do anything to be with her—and agrees to take things as slowly as she needs. But when Laurie seems to lose her courage in the face of true love, Rick has no choice but to trust her heart to make the right decision.
