Book Extract; from DJ; danny McCuLLERS was one of thepeople who made the music, one ofthose who lived their lives a bit apartfrom the rest of the world. Thirty-oneyears old, with dark eyes burning deepin his pale face, Danny was like thestrings of his bass fiddle, tuned sharpand kept taut and likely to break atany minute.Danny saw himself not as someoneplaying in a band. Playing in a bandwas Danny. His world was standing upthere on the bandstand with thecolored lights going around, the hornshitting it together, the laughing womendressed in beautiful clothes. It washotel rooms and all-night cafes andlong automobile rides, over desertedhighways, to get to the next job. Andalways, always there had to be thewhisky.Danny had plenty of talent, couldmake his bass do almost anything hewanted it to, but he knew it took morethan that to be really big time, andthat's what he wanted to be, and heknew he would never make it. InDanny's world, the bad thing, thereally sad thing, is to know you can'tmake it, but know you can't give upwanting to.At the end of the summer, in a smallbeach town where the band was play-ing a one-night stand, Danny came torealize that his life might have beendifferent-that it might still be dif-ferent. He had only to make a choice.A, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall, Good
