'Three String Blues' follows the life of Harry Cousins and
the pursuit of love.... With a lady and with the
PRS (Paul Reed Smith
Guitars)
on the cover. 'Three String Blues' has a rocking (or should
that be a bluesing?) soundtrack as Harry's band exploits go
from bad to worse to slightly better. You could do with
setting up your iPod to play the tracks as you read along!
Complete with the joys of the college staff room and
raising three sarcastic teenagers... Below is the blurb
from the back of 'Three String Blues' and the pencil sketch
of the PRS. There is also a pen and ink doodle of Pete
Townsend and his writing studio.
Back
Page Blurb from Pete Townsend's 'Three String Blues'
"On the same day as his ill-fated attempt to win the
pee-up-the-wall competition at primary school, Harry
Cousin’s father failed to return home from a hectic
train-spotting stint. With a real sense of loss, Harry
shuffled into adolescence.
Now, still feeling he’s losing everything that’s important
to him, Harry’s fighting for the custody of his three
children and struggling to come to terms with teaching at
the local college. After being arrested for a case of
mistaken intent, he wants to find some meaning in life …
Harry joins a Blues band.
And so begins a series of bizarre events on a rollercoaster
journey, as he soon discovers that the Blues is more than
just a category in a music store .... … it’s a lifestyle. "
