A Geezer's Guide to the Universe

About the Book

From his youth in the cattle-covered Sandhills of Nebraska to a small French farming village, Dennis Glaser is enjoying an ever-changing, experience-filled life. And he here recounts some of those experiences to entertain and inform his readers. Writing with a rare combination of wit and wisdom, Glaser discusses life, love, laughter, nature, pets, work, and travel as essential elements of the well-lived existence. The universe covered within these pages is drawn from the lessons he has learned from growing to manhood to present day—not retired, he says, but “re-wired.” Glaser’s vignettes utilize a reporter’s insightful observation of events and the profiles of the people involved. The locales include small towns, big cities, and the rural countryside where he learned nature’s lessons first hand. Always he writes with an unerring ability to find the essential heart of each experience. Glaser exemplifies advice he received early-on: Find a job you love and you’ll never work another day in your life!

About the Author

During Nashville’s seminal ’seventies--but not all at the same time--Dennis Glaser was an artist’s professional manager, music magazine journalist, record company vice-president of public relations, owner of a record-pressing plant, and mid-level advertising executive in Nashville. And managed a Music Row tavern in his spare time. A cousin of award-winning Tompall & the Glaser Brothers, Glaser had a first row seat to the origin of the Outlaws, the influx of the “street writers,” and the eventual evolution from “hillbilly” to today’s corporate culture
