From the back cover: A little boy sat, watching a group of older boys playing baseball; a pitch went wild, and hit the boy in the left eye. The boy lost the sight of that eye, the right eye, being sympathetic the boy became blind.

The boy was Hank Faller, who now as an accomplished, sensitive Organist, Pianist, who can make you sit and listen as he feels his way over the keyboard to bring you the wonderfully beautiful strains of these ever popular songs.

When his hands touch the keys of his instruments, they seem to reach out to you, to take you by the hand and say, "Come along with me to the wonderful world of Hank Faller, with it's rhythms and melodies, and wonderful sensitivity," and I'm sure you'll love the trip, I know, I've been there.

Hank is featured at Elliot Murphy's fabulous Sky Club restaurant located at 600 Old Country Road, Mineola, L.I., adjacent to Roosevelt Field, where dining is a must for the gourmet, and music is a must for the connoisseur.

Elliott Murphy was a wll-known impresario who ran a multi-faceted Aquashow through the 1950s on the site of the 1939 New York World's Fair. He opened the Sky Club in Roosevelt Field, Long Island. The Sky Club was a politically connected restaurant/private club hosting such famous politicians of the time as Bobby Kennedy and Nelson Rockefeller.
