Jean Harlow was an enigma; the original Blonde Bombshell; completely uninhibited. She made no secret of the fact that she never wore underwear; bleached her pubic hair to match that on her head ndash; and was never afraid of showing this to journalists; if they asked. On the screen she epitomised the fun-loving; wise-cracking tart-with-a-heart yet away from the spotlight she was nothing like the public perceived her to be. In this new biography; David Bret uncovers an unhappy upbringing by an unloving mother and sexually abusive step-father; her love of older men and the mistreatment she suffered at their hands; her progression from movie slut to screwball comedy star; her special relationship with William Powell; how she was ripped off by the studios; and more. Jean Harlow: Tarnished Angel is a compelling portrayal of the enigmatic star.

Great fun; change of pace while staying true to the Clawhammer styleBy Ben RicksonThis is a book full of excellently done tabs for Bob Dylan in clawhammer banjo. The way the songs are tabbed out dont make it seem like the songs were "forced" into the necessary pattern for clawhammer style; theyre all in standard tunings (G; D; Double C; and all along the watchtower is in D minor); and different rhythms that are great fun and fit inductively to the natural "bum ditty" groove of clawhammer. Rather; the tabs make it seem like the songs were meant to be played this way. Most tunes are easy enough for the intermediate player to work through; and to entertain fully the advanced player. Playing claw hammer banjo can get a little repetitive when all youre playing are folk tunes that all sound quite similar; and I found this book to be a great change of pace while staying true to the clawhammer style. I cant recommend this book enough for anybody who likes to play clawhammer banjo.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Dylan on banjo?
