Bøger af Patricia Luce Chapman

Patricia Luce Chapman's lyrics range from funny to sad, from country to novelty. "Honey Come Dance With Me" was inspired by her feisty mother; "Gonna Scrub My Blues" by a frustrated teenager at a party. Many are drawn from nature: "Dance with Lightning" compares a wild girl to lightning dancing across the sky, and "Together Forever" tells about lasting love between a pair of snow geese. Some of Pat's lyrics are of a more serious tone: "Portrait in the Sand" is about a homesick soldier, while "They Trapped the Wild Bird in a Cage" portrays a falsely imprisoned inmate. "Cowboy Lullaby" pulls at one's heartstrings and "Ride Cowboy Ride" takes us up to the stars. Funny songs include "Well How Babee" and "My Heart Attack Just Walked In." Some responses to her prize-winning songs include, "This well-written and emotive song lyric ("Together Forever") is beautiful and poignant, and the strong visual imagery is outstanding...it tells a moving story using good song structure ... a worthy Lyrics Only winner." -2011 UK International Songwriting Contest "One of the best songs we heard last month ("Watch Out for Falling Rocks"). Please send us a headshot photo for the Winners page." - SongwriterUniverse Pat's lyrics with music on CDs and albums are available for purchase by her email: patchacha@me.com, at her website, www.patricialucechapman.com, at Broadjam, and will be available at Amazon.

China in the 1930s and a young American girl is an eye-witness as the world falls apart. Patricia Luce Chapman's memoir is full of the color and feel of living as a foreigner in a Chinese world, the encroachment of the Japanese, the takeover by the Nazis of the German school in Shanghai which she attended. This book more than any other brings to life the era and the link through to today.
