{"product_id":"9780692323496","title":"Guitarlo","description":"\u003cp\u003eGuitarlo is a compelling, and to the heart honest, memoir, Arlo Hennings takes the reader on a decades journey from his challenging childhood, blossoming as a poet, song writer, musician, agent, husband, father, son… to his current life in Indonesia where he continues to promote and create music. The \u003cem\u003einspiration \u003c\/em\u003ethat brought him to Bali began at an Occupy protest where he was clubbed and arrested, having lost his job, home, marriage. A dramatic, and very real, event, as are many events in Henning’s six decade life journey. His connections to Allen Ginsberg, Hunter S Thompson, The Merry Pranksters, and so much more, you’ll read\/see. A trip to South Africa with the singer Shawn Phillips as Mandela is voted in as president- the first integrated rock concert, described with all its tension and, yes, beauty. The villa Hennings builds in Bali for visitors- the visitor’s descriptions come alive on the page with insight, and Henning’s trademark humor (you will LOL). The shaman, 52 Good Fingers, will live in my heart forever- sacred, alive, tragic, hilarious. This memoir reveals family tragedies, personal tragedies, and so much JOY, appetite for La Vida, from his boyhood to his present life. Hennings’ humor is like a sweet tide that keeps bringing us to shore, and his sheer love of being \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ealive\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e brings deep wisdom within these pages. I’m left with a sense of transcendence, with that jolt of laughter that makes it all absolutely real. And human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hear2Ear Records and Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015131054320,"sku":"9780692323496","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692323496_p0.jpg?v=1763612116","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692323496","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
