{"ID":3802290,"post_title":"The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto","title":"The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto","post_content":"In Mitch Albom's epic new novel, the voice of Music narrates the tale of its most beloved disciple, Frankie Presto, a Spanish war orphan raised by a blind music teacher. At nine years old, Frankie is sent to America. His only possession is an old guitar and six magical strings. But Frankie's talent is touched by the gods, and it weaves him through the musical landscape of the twentieth century, from classical to jazz to rock and roll. Along the way, Frankie influences many artists: he translates for Django Reinhardt, advises Little Richard, backs up Elvis Presley, and counsels Hank Williams. Frankie elevates to a rock star himself, yet his gift becomes his burden, as he realizes that he can actually affect people's futures: the guitar strings turn blue whenever a life is altered. Overwhelmed by life, loss, and this power, he disappears for years, only to reemerge in a spectacular and mysterious farewell. With its Forrest Gump-like journey through the music world, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto is a classic in the making. A lifelong musician himself, Mitch Albom delivers an unforgettable story. ?Everyone joins a band in this life,? he observes, be it music, family, friends, or lovers. And those connections change the world. Performed by Mitch Albom, Roger McGuinn, Ingrid Michaelson, John Pizzarelli, Paul Stanley, George Guidall, Mike Hodge, Robin Miles, Christian Baskous, Tony Chiroldes, Kevin O'Neill, Adriana Sananes, Ken Brown, and Sarab Kamoo","image":"https:\/\/images.thalia.media\/00\/-\/e1dab31fb90b49a78ef69c5a47d79816\/the-magic-strings-of-frankie-presto-audio-john-pizzarelli.jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.vergleiche.ch\/product\/the-magic-strings-of-frankie-presto\/","min_price":29.4,"low_price_merchant_id":2294,"deeplink":"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/pclick.php?p=40762523660&a=401125&m=13971&pref1=9780062562326","ean":9780062562326,"brand":"HarperCollins"}
