David Friedman, The Stories of My Life: A Lifetime of Anecdotes, Gossip, Jokes, and Wisdom from a Jewish, Gay, Broadway, Movie, and TV Composer... Kindle Edition

What do We Can Be Kind, Beauty and the Beast, a Jewish grandmother, and a gay metaphysician have in common? David Friedman.For decades, David Friedman has made people laugh, cry, and believe in kindness—through his songs of hope, healing and humor; from Broadway stages and beloved Disney films; in recording studios with artists like Diana Ross, Barry Manilow, and Nancy LaMott; and through the metaphysical teachings he shares with audiences across the nation.Now, in this irresistible collection, he reveals the stories behind nearly a thousand moments that shaped his remarkable life: tales of family, friends and fame; joy and heartbreak; absurdity and grace… with a generous amount of gossip and laughter along the way.The Stories of My Life is a celebration of being human—told with the humor of a born entertainer and the heart of a healer. Whether you read one story or a hundred, you’ll finish smiling, nodding, and maybe a little more in love with life… and perhaps with a greater appreciation of your own stories. Read more
