Black Keys Only

The writings that comprise BLACK KEYS ONLY are short stories about various aspects of early farm life in the South & Southwest. They are autobiographical to the extent that they relate to the author's family & community; however, the topics & events are universal in their appeal. They are related in non-technical language with a touch of homespun insight that makes them interesting & informative. These writings cover topics ranging from birth to funerals & many of life's experiences in between. Farming, schooling, & many other events of rural life are described in writing that is easy to understand yet leaves one with a vivid mental image of the experiences described. Even though BLACK KEYS ONLY has great appeal to readers that grew up in the 1920s & depression years, it has proven to be popular among young readers & serves as an interesting yet informative reference relating to rural living. BLACK KEYS ONLY is handsomely presented with an outstanding cover design by artist Rick Couture, making it an attractive addition to any collection of books. The illustrations by Rick & Julie Couture capture the time & emotion of the stories depicted. To order: BLACK KEYS ONLY by Troy W. Parsons, $13.95, Fayette Publishing, Box 252, Briggs, TX 78608.
