Guitarlo

Guitarlo is a compelling and to the heart honest memoir Arlo Hennings takes the reader on a decades journey from his challenging childhood blossoming as a poet song writer musician agent husband father son... to his current life in Indonesia where he continues to promote and create music. The inspiration that brought him to Bali began at an Occupy protest where he was clubbed and arrested having lost his job home marriage. A dramatic and very real event as are many events in Hennings six decade life journey. His connections to Allen Ginsberg Hunter S Thompson The Merry Pranksters and so much more youll read/see. A trip to South Africa with the singer Shawn Phillips as Mandela is voted in as president- the first integrated rock concert described with all its tension and yes beauty. The villa Hennings builds in Bali for visitors- the visitors descriptions come alive on the page with insight and Hennings trademark humor (you will LOL). The shaman 52 Good Fingers will live in my heart forever- sacred alive tragic hilarious. This memoir reveals family tragedies personal tragedies and so much JOY appetite for La Vida from his boyhood to his present life. Hennings humor is like a sweet tide that keeps bringing us to shore and his sheer love of being alive brings deep wisdom within these pages. Im left with a sense of transcendence with that jolt of laughter that makes it all absolutely real. And human.
