A Bandstand for All Time, The Return of Fiddelee-dee & Company, by AJ Beauregard

November 1, 2019 By Jan

A Bandstand for All TimeAJ Beauregard is the author of a new book, A Bandstand for All Time, The Return of Fiddelee-dee & Company, a humorous novel, music-themed published by Diomosquarebooks.

The same charming characters who beguiled readers in Fiddelee-dee and Company return with flair and gusto. Their goal: a bandstand for the park of Elvira. Their challenge: raising funds and dealing with the clashing egos of Elvira’s mayor and Elvira’s newest resident, an Irish oboe-playing whiskey merchant. Music is the counterpoint to a quiet pandemonium as the community learns how to come together.
