Eugene Walter was raised in downtown Mobile with 23 cats and many books, before the days of radio and television. He began to make rimes before he could read and write, published his first verses when he was 12. As a child he took great pleasure in the choral music at a nearby Afro-American church; toon meer through a harpist friend and a soprano friend discovered the songs of Debussy, Faure, Hahn, Hoagy Carmichael, Cole Porter, then later, when learning to play the alto recorder, the songs of Elizabethan poet-composers such as Gibbons, Byrd, Weelkes, Ford. Walter wrote the choral number "St. Francis in the Meadow" (music by Alfredo di Rocco) performed at St. Peter's Vatican, for the 800th anniversary of the birth of St. Francis of Assisi; the ballad "What Is a Youth?" in Zeffirielli's film of Romeo and Juliet; the musicals Funnybone and Tinsel Time; the one-act comic operas Ouijie in the Tree for composer Donald Ashwander, The Heath by Moonlight for Francesco Imbraguglio; and the oratorio Let's Get This Show on the Road for John Eaton toon minder

Milking the Moon: A Southerner's Story of Life on… door Eugene Walter

Why have I never heard of Eugene Walter? Or read any of his books? If they are anywhere as fun as this delightful memoir of his icredible life, they must be wonderful reads. Here is an eccentric Southrner from Mobile, Alabama, who becomes one of the first contributor/editors of the Paris Review in the 1950's, then goes to Rome to help edit an Italian literary revview and later acts in Fellini movies while sharing a palazzo with Leontyne Price.

And on his merry (and maybe at times not so merry) journey through life he meets seemingly everyone worth meeting in the world of the Arts, from the aging lesbian Natalie Barney to Isak Dineson, Giuseppe Lampedusa, Katherine Ann Porter and Gore Vidal.

Always the grasshopper and never the any, he could say at the end of his life, "I've had a great life and it all happened because I didn't plan any of it." Read & enjoy!… (meer)
