Sal Nunziato: Paul Sanchez: Taking Back His Life Through Words & Music

Pieces Of Me

http://www.threadheadrecords.com/sanchez_book.html

With the release of his first book, talented New Orleans musician, singer and songwriter Paul Sanchez invites the reader to share his journey from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the flooding of New Orleans to a renewed life and a new New Orleans.

"what I lost in the flood was my stuff, what I've found since is my life".

"Pieces Of Me" is a very personal collection of essays, initially written as blogs, documenting the torment of Sanchez's life after the flood, leaving the band Cowboy Mouth and facing an uncertain future before finding himself in a new world filled with the kind of love and music he had long been searching for.

"I have been looking for a connection to something for a long time and I found it right here where I started. The music, the people, the feeling that life is for living and work shouldn't be taken too seriously. The sense of community in the streets, talking to people you know and people that you don't know with the same familiarity."

"The magic hasn't been lost and that was, I guess, what we all feared the most as the events of the Thing, (as writer Chris Rose has called it), unfolded. ultimately the magic is in each of us anyway."

"The moment that feels like sublime perfection when John Boutte' sings or  Shamarr Allen plays his horn on a night when you know the rest of the country is tucked in, is only wonderful if you open up and allow yourself to experience it."

Fans of Sanchez know that when he takes to the stage and begins to sing you are unwittingly swept up in his pain, his joy and his love for life and for New Orleans. Through this honest, heart warming and at times laugh out loud funny book you will also become better acquainted with Sanchez and many of the musicians that he calls friends.

Pieces Of Me, published in April 2009, is the first book to be published by Threadhead Records.
