voices for the secondary characters. This upbeat, dramatic story of overcoming odds is a

day-brightener listeners shouldn't overlook."AudioFile



"This book is the inspirational story of the power of art to change lives. Gardner's reading is just as

inspirationalhe even gets sound effects into the story. After listening to Flying Colors, you will

never see a person in a wheelchair in quite the same way."KLIATT



When Tim Lefens walked into the Matheny School in New Jersey to show slides of his paintings, his

one-hour visit became a life-changing experience. The students he met had severe physical challenges:

only one of them could talk, none could walk, and all lacked the use of their hands. As a painter facing

his own gradual loss of eyesight, Tim had come to fully appreciate the power of art, and he was

determined to enable the students to paint despite their physical limitations.



Lefens created breakthrough techniques for these students that gave full, exacting control of the creative

process for such remarkable young artists as Natalia with her brash wit, the brooding Mike with his

Harley-Davidson hat, the mischievous Chet, the passionate cowgirl Cindy, and Angel, the volcanic Latino.



Flying Colors, an immensely inspiring story about leaping over obstacles, reveals the passion and

determination of one man, his student-artists, and their emergence together from a virtual silence to luminous

expression.



Tim Lefens is the founder of A.R.T. (Artistic Realization Techniques) and lives in Belle Mead, New Jersey.

"I'd come from a long ways off and had started a long ways down. But now destiny was about to manifest itself. I felt like it was looking right at me and nobody else."

Bob Dylan's Chronicle: Volume One explores the critical junctions in his life and career. Through Dylan's eyes and open mind, we see Greenwich Village, circa 1961, when he first arrives in Manhattan. Dylan's New York is a magical city of possibilities -- smoky, nightlong parties; literary awakenings; transient loves and unbreakable friendships. Elegiac observations are punctuated by jabs of memories, penetrating and tough. With side trips to New Orleans, Woodstock, Minnesota and points west, Chronicles: Volume One is an intimate and intensely personal recollection of extraordinary times.

Revealing, poetical, passionate and witty, Chronicles: Volume One is a mesmerizing window on Bob Dylan's thoughts and influences. Dylan's voice is distinctively American: generous of spirit, engaged, fanciful and rhythmic. Utilizing his unparalleled gifts of storytelling and the exquisite expressiveness that are the hallmarks of his music, Bob Dylan turns Chronicles: Volume One into a poignant reflection on life, and the people and places that helped shape the man and the art.
