Word of the discovery continues to spread, and our little Tour Bus Crash Site community has grown. Hegelbach, the Chief Inspector of the local Musicians Union Antiquities Dept., drove up from Denver with Bruford and the Symphonic Department officers. The Symphonic Department had absolutely filled his old pickup with hunting paraphernalia. H. was on hand to witness the freeing of the rubbish from the engine cavity.

He stuck his thickly bearded head inside the bus and sniffed around. 'You sure they're dead?'

Louden Carnard replied in the affirmative.

"Well, their membership is past due. They got fines to pay," he insisted, whereupon L.C. reminded him they'd be dead for quite some time. "They got stuff in there. Fiddles, gold teeth, anything we can pawn," he said. "Truck needs brakes." - excerpt from Curse of the Maestro and Other Stories

A psychopath's scented love letters. Neo-Nazi music journalism. The museum guestbook, right beside a lifelike diorama of musicians in their natural habitat. This collection of hybrid fiction is all that remains of the Stonehaven Symphony Orchestra. In the aftermath of their fiery tour bus mishap, Curse of the Maestro documents the lives, loves, and musical pursuits of tuxedo-clad misfits in their own words, a shameless allegory for the performing arts today. Characters from the gamut of racial and sexual orientations drive these short stories, unreliable narrators exploring the secret trenches of high art.

Fearless readers will embark upon an almost archaeological excavation of these artifacts, searching for clues to uncover answers to questions they did not know they had.

The alter-ego of Black concert violinist Gregory Walker, G.T. is an Elizabeth M. Cruthers Prize-winning playwright, author of Trigram Cluster Funk (Double Dragon), and still occasionally freelances as a writer and columnist for Strings , Teen Strings , and Chamber Music Magazine.
