Publisher Description: ONE DAY IN 1965, a young man starting his senior year in high school began keeping a detailed record of his activities and encounters on an almost-daily basis, a practice he will continue throughout his life. More than fifty years later, the journals of DH Parsons comprise multiple volumes filled with memorable characters, life-altering experiences, spiritual epiphanies, as well as observations and impressions of contemporary culture and societal trends. The entries describe his efforts to find his place in the world among his peers and mentors, to find his way forward in a career that will provide not just a living but personal fulfillment, and, of course, to navigate the perilous waters of love. Life Ain't Nothin' but a Slow Jazz Dance reaches back to almost the beginning, the summer of 1966. With high school behind him and college on the horizon, DH uses the interlude to expand the boundaries of his world. He is soon drawn to the Beats and Beat culture as he ponders: SOME BIG THINGSWhere do we come from? Where are we going? Why are we here?br/>One day we decided that we'd like to come here to this planet and hang around for a few years, kinda like a vacation. What am I going to be in life?
