Title: Sometimes I Wonder
First published: 1965
Description: Entertaining remembrances of a jazz and songwriting great. The parts of the book about his early days in Bloomington, New York, and Hollywood are particularly evocative. Falls apart a bit as the story gets to the stage of his life when he's quite successful, having "made it" as a public personality. The tales of the Book Nook are amazing though. Well worth a read for anyone interested in his music, Bloomington history, the early days of jazz, or songwriting.
