The evolution of the book... to the ebook

Reading this interesting article and thought I'd share it.

Bones of the Book

Happy new year everyone.

I have been quite busy with my Facebook page and have neglected my blog.

So be it - life is busy right up in now!

I just would like to share a few posts from my facebook page.

A biography about Mr. R. M. Bailey, after whom the school on Robinson road is named. (courtesy of the Dept of Archives website: http://www.bahamasnationalarchives.bs/Bahamian_Educators/Bahamian_Educators_Bailey_RM.htm

There are biographies for many more of the educators after whom our primary and high schools were named.  A list of links is at the left hand side of the page.

Also a website and facebook page that gives photos of what Nassau used to look like in days gone by.

New Facebook page

I have created a Facebook page to share historical information about people, places and things in the Bahamas.
You can find it at: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Bahamian-History-Highlights/112609982183747

I will also be posting updates from the page to this blog.

Bahamian singer KB pens book based on tales in his songs

Kirkland “KB” Bodie, has published a book entitled “Bahamian Lyrical Tales”.  The book is published by Media Unlimited, and illustrated by Freeport-based art teacher Alisa Streather-Robinson.  The book is being launched in Nassau and Freeport this week.

The book is a group of 15 short stories based on songs he has written that were all hits... except for The Greasy Man, a story that has been told orally for years and for the first time is now in print. Complementing this he has produced a score with the same name that he has on his latest album. KB uses Bahamian dialect also and there is a glossary in the book to help people decipher it if they are unfamiliar. 

Bahamian Lyrical Tales is geared toward children, but adults will enjoy and may recognize some of the stories, in particular of one of his greatest hits, “She Fat” as it is also included under the title, “Gussimae”
