Summary
From the book: There was a poor boy in New Orleans who was in love with music. And music was everywhere in his city -- dancing out of doorways, singing on street corners, best of all there was the great… Joe Oliver's cornet crying wah-wah for all to hear. If I only had a horn, that boy thought, I too could sing, bring home pennies, and most of all tap happy feet blues till the sun rose. It wasn't going to be easy. Many things, not all of them good, had to happen before that boy got his horn. But when at last he did, his cornet would send music spiraling up into the New Orleans night sky like a spinning top gone crazy.
