Robert Chapmans memoir traces the life experiences of a boy from a small Vermont town that offered unusual opportunities to support his musical talents. Both in St. Johnsbury and at the New England Conservatory of Music he studied with professional musicians. He learned to deal with and celebrate his differences, including his talent, ADD, and homosexuality. His abilities led him to a career in church music, musical theater, private musical instruction, and club performances. His emotional satisfaction derives in large part from his 40-year old relationship with his partner, Jack Fisher. Now retired, he and Jack live in Florida.
