Even more quotes from SYMPATHY FOR THE BLUES! 🎸✨
Graphic with a background image of a young man holding a guitar-like instrument in his lap. Headline says: "Fashion". Body text says: "Gene believes his outfit is rather sexy and appropriate for tonight; he’s wearing a silky long-sleeve shirt only buttoned up halfway, showing a bit of his hairy chest at the top. He’s got on tight bell-bottom jeans to go with it, along with some heeled boots." The quote is from the book SYMPATHY FOR THE BLUES by S.S. Genesee. Graphic with a background image of two young men singing into a single microphone. Headline says: "Blues-Rock". Body text says: "“A love so beautiful, so divine, Goin’ outta my way to make her mine. Footsteps dancin’, to and fro, Oh baby, I can never let her go. She flies me up like a plane, higher and higher. There ain’t no way I can deny her. ‘Fly high, baby, fly away with me.’ She’ll be the star of all my dreams.”" The quote is from the book SYMPATHY FOR THE BLUES by S.S. Genesee. Graphic with a background of the sign for the Flamingo casino in Las Vegas at night during the 1970s. Headline says: "Las Vegas". Body text says: "The darkening evening sky paints a lovely backdrop against all the sparkling neon. Cars zoom on the Strip—their headlights passing along in an otherworldly blur. Red, pink, and green lights flash and flicker in every direction: up, down, left, and right. It’s a sensory overload." The quote is from the book SYMPATHY FOR THE BLUES by S.S. Genesee.

One of the things I'm proud of with SYMPATHY FOR THE BLUES is how well I wrote the 1970s setting! So, I figured I'd highlight some quotes that really show how this story is set during that time period.✨

Graphic that says: Experience the 1970s in SYMPATHY FOR THE BLUES by S.S. Genesee. The background is of a 1978 Ford Thunderbird parked on the side of a road with fall trees surrounding it. In the foreground with the text is a mockup of the book cover for ebook and paperback versions of SYMPATHY FOR THE BLUES. Graphic with a background image of records and a record player. Headline says: "Records". Body text says: "Music has always played an important role in Ray's life, one way or another. Growing up with his younger brother, Mick, they would sing and dance to the radio or various records their parents would buy them, mostly British Invasion but also Chicago blues or Detroit rock." The quote is from the book SYMPATHY FOR THE BLUES by S.S. Genesee. Graphic with a background image of a young man with a camera hanging around his neck. Headline says: "Film". Body text says: "Maurice attempts to roll his camera to the next frame, but the lever stops. “Ah, this roll’s filled. I’ll have to get another. Not quite done with you guys; I wanna do some individual shots next. But you can stretch, move around some.”" The quote is from the book SYMPATHY FOR THE BLUES by S.S. Genesee.
