Legendary Warriors

Warriors $7.99 On the ground, in the air, and behind the lines, grunts made life-and-death decisions every day—and endured the worst stress of their young lives. It was the tumultuous year 1968, and Robert Tonsetic was Rifle Company commander of the 4th Battalion, 12th Infantry in Vietnam. He took over a group of grunts demoralized by defeat but determined to get even. Through the legendary Tet and May Offensives, he led, trained, and risked his life with these brave men, and this is the thrilling, brutal, and honest story of his tour of duty. Tonsetic tells of leading a seriously undermanned ready-reaction force into a fierce, three-day battle with a ruthless enemy battalion; conducting surreal night airmobile assaults and treks through fetid, pitch-black jungles; and relieving combat stress by fishing with hand grenades and taking secret joyrides in Hueys. During that fateful year, as unrest erupted at home and politicians groped for a way out of the war, Tonsetic and his men did their job as soldiers and earned the title “Warriors.” From the Paperback edition.

The Twilight Warriors $12.99 The Twilight Warriors is the engrossing, page-turning saga of a tightly knit band of naval aviators who are thrust into the final—and most brutal—battle of the Pacific war: Okinawa. April 1945. The end of World War II finally appears to be nearing. The Third Reich is collapsing in Europe, and the Americans are overpowering the once-mighty Japanese Empire in the Pacific. For a group of young pilots trained in the twilight of the war, the greatest worry is that it will end before they have a chance to face the enemy. They call themselves Tail End Charlies. They fly at the tail end of formations, stand at the tail end of chow lines, and now they are catching the tail end of the war. What they don’t know is that they will be key players in the bloodiest and most difficult of naval battles—not only of World War II but in all of American history. The Twilight Warriors relives the drama of the world’s last great naval campaign. From the cockpit of a Corsair fighter we gaze down at the Japanese task force racing to destroy the American amphibious force at Okinawa. Through the eyes of the men on the destroyers assigned to picket ship duty, we experience the terror as wave after wave of kamikazes crash into their ships. Standing on the deck of the legendary superbattleship Yamato, we watch Japan’s last hope for victory die in a tableau of gunfire and explosions. Among the Tail End Charlies are men such as a twenty-two-year-old former art student who grows to manhood on the day of his first mission over Japan and his best friend, a ladies’ man and intrepid fighter pilot whose life abruptly changes when his Corsair goes down off the enemy shore. Another is a young Texan lieutenant who volunteers for the most dangerous flying job in the fleet—intercepting kamikazes at night over the blackened Pacific. Their leader is a charismatic officer who rises to greatness in the crucible of Okinawa. Directing the vast armada of sea, air, and land forces is a cast of brilliant and flawed commanders—from the imperturbable admiral and master of carrier warfare to the controversial soldier assigned to command the land forces. The fate of the Americans at Okinawa is intertwined with the lives of the “young gods”— the honor-bound Japanese airmen who swarm like killer bees toward the U.S. ships. The kamikazes are dispatched on their deadly one-way missions by a classic samurai warrior who vows that he will follow them to a warrior’s grave. The ferocity of the Okinawa fighting stuns the world. Before it ends, the long battle will cost more American lives, ships, and aircraft than any naval engagement in U.S. history. More than simply the account of a historic battle, The Twilight Warriors brings to life the human side of an epic conflict. It is the story of young Americans at war in the air and on the sea—and of their enigmatic, fanatically courageous enemy. From the Hardc

Born In Glendale, California, Elvin Grew Up On An Lowa Farm And When He Was 10 His Folks Moved To Tulsa.

With two recent CD releases "Red Dog Speaks" and "Elvin Bishop's Raisin' Hell Revue," as well as a Grammy proposal for his 2008 disk "The Blues Rolls On," Elvin Bishop, who turned 69 years-old in October, has completely revamped his career, a vocation that began in the early 1960's and is going robust more than 5 decades later on.

Born in Glendale, California, Elvin grew up on an Iowa farm. When he was 10 his folks moved to Tulsa. He had tiny exposure to onstage music, but his folks did have a radio, and in between the pop hits of the day and some country music that ruled the airwaves of the 1950's, the radio would often be in a position to capture the mythical RB programming of 1510 / WLAC from Nashville. The station introduced Elvin to the classic records of Jimmy Reed, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters and so many others, and once his ears had been hooked, there was no turning back. He shortly got his first guitar and on his own began scratching out the basic outlines of the blues, RB and rock and roll that had captured his imagination.

He attended Will Rogers Highschool in Tulsa, winning a full scholarship to the School of Chicago us a Nationwide Merit Scholar finalist. Upon graduation, he moved to Chicago to attend college where he specialized in physics. The University of Chicago was located on the city's South side, ground zero for a lot of the urban blues Elvin has been studying from a distance. In 1963 he met harmonica player Paul Butterfield and joined Butterfield's band, remaining for 5 years. The band's third album, "The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw," takes its name from Bishop's nickname. His long time publishing company is named Crabshaw Music.

In 1968 Elvin left the Butterfield Blues Band and formed the Elvin Bishop Group, signing with Bill Graham's Fillmore Records. He played on the album "The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper," and recorded three albums for the Fillmore label. In 1971 his band and the Allman Brothers Band played a series of concerts at the Fillmore East in NY, when the Allman's recorded their mythical live album, "At Fillmore East." Elvin joined the Allmans onstage for a cover of his own song, "Drunken Hearted Boy" during each show. Over time, Elvin has recorded with many other blues artists including Clifton Chenier, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley and B.B. King.

Elvin signed with Capricorn Records in 1974 and The Elvin Bishop Band released six albums, getting giant airplay on the album-oriented rock radio stations of the day. In 1976, the band released the single, "Fooled Around and Fell in Love," which sold 1,000,000 copies and topped at No. 3 on the Billboard charts. The song was authored by Elvin but sung by Mickey Thomas, the band's lead frontman. The record was so big, the group even made an appearance on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand." Signing with Capricorn, the band was immediately lumped into the Southern Rock genre and toured continually with the Allmans, the Marshall Tucker Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the rest.

With the demise of Capricorn in 1980, Elvin was left looking for a new label home, and returned to his blues roots of his Chicago days and began playing more bare bones, tummy bucket blues.

"I went through a dry spell on the recording side, but I usually kept a good band," Elvin said by telephone this week from his home in Lagunitas.

He found a professional home in 2008 when he recorded "The Blues Rolls On" for Delta Groove Music, a label based in Southern California. That release received his Grammy nomination, and Elvin attended the awards ceremony in LA "Pinetop Perkins was also nominated in that category," Elvin recalls, "and since we were staying at the same hotel, we decided to go to the awards show in a limousine. On the way to the show, Pinetop decides he needs a hamburger, so we whip into the nearest McDonalds, and he gets out and comes back with a bag of burgers. It was a great night."

Nonetheless neither of them won the award. "It went to one of the typical suspects," Elvin claimed, "Either B.B. Or Buddy Guy, I can't remember, but we continue to had a good time."

The Mythical Blues Cruises are a fun course of action, according to Elvin. "You are on the boat for one week and all that you need to do is three shows, and it is such a great way to start to know other musicians," he says. "On the road, you are just passing a couple of hours at a gig or on the road, but on the ship, you get to hang together for one week, and it really is a whole lot of fun."

His disk from the Blues Cruise, "Elvin Bishop's Raisin' Hell Revue" includes some Bishop classics like "Callin' All Cows," "The Night Time Is The Right Time," "What The Hell Is Goin' On," "Rock My Soul," "It Wounds Me Too" and his massive hit, "Fooled Around and Fell in Love."

Those songs and more will be performed on Saturday night at the Uptown Theatre in Napa. Tickets are $35 and you may be sure Elvin Bishop and his crack band will definitely rock your soul, writes tagza.com.
