Synopsis "Perils of a Polynesian Percussionist"
Perils of a Polynesian Percussionist is set in the 1970's. Todd Barlow is reeling from the sudden, unexpected death of her beloved mare, Sesame. She decides it's time to rethink staying on her father's ranch after college to raise and train horses. She looks for-and finds-an escape by using her second talent, playing drums, to join the traveling Polynesian revue run by singer Sammy Kolomona. In a world opposite from everything she's ever known, Todd discovers the ups and downs of life on the road with a band. The friends she makes-other musicians and "groupies"-help her understand her own strengths and challenges, and lead her to an acceptance of herself she may never have gained on her family's ranch. Join Todd's wacky adventures with some very imaginative characters as she travels the Continental United States to clubs, show rooms, and casinos from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Lodi, California to Elko, Nevada and everywhere in between, proving that ohana-"family" in Hawaiian-can consist of folks other than blood relatives. The author herself traveled with a Polynesian revue in the 1970's, but the characters in the book are fictitious, and the book's events are the product of the author's imagination. In Perils, as in her memoir, Corrigan champions her characters to survive and thrive under extreme conditions.
