Coles Dust Bowl to Disney - The Lost Memoir of Danny Alguire at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Rediscovered and made available for the first time
Danny Alguire (1912-1992) was a renowned musician known for playing with two world-famous bands: The Firehouse Five Plus Two and Bob Wills' Texas Playboys. He also spent nearly twenty years at the Walt Disney Studios as an assistant director on animated films including Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, and The Jungle Book. For years, it was known that Alguire had written an autobiography. Unpublished at his death, it was considered lost before it was surprisingly rediscovered.
Alguire's life is the saga of a can-do Southwesterner, a self-made man and self-taught musician who hitchhiked in the Dust Bowl, dodged enemy submarines during World War II, played music with iconic performers from Bing Crosby to Louis Armstrong, and worked alongside Walt Disney and his artists. His story is unmistakably American with its tales of perseverance, hope, and renewal. This memoir is a testament to Alguire's enduring spirit and character, as well as a call to discover your own voice in whatever form it makes itself known.
Includes Danny Alguire's original manuscript and a new appendix of supplemental material.
