Thank you, Dan. I hear tell he was quite the lady’s man in his day. In the book, his divorced wife was sure the mystery women’’s photo in his pocket watch was that of his lover. She wants the granddaughter to find out who that woman really is? That she does, digs into his past, and gives you the answer. 📚🎶
Greg, thanks for your comment question. After Grandfather died, his music store in Manhattan was ransacked. Unfortunately, his son didn’t get there in time, and his trumpet, plus other valuable instruments were gone. It was suspect that his partner made off with them. But, we’ll never really know. 📚Christine

This begs the question, what happened to the trumpet?
