About The Music Between Us: Memoir Of A Bedside Musician
A Man’s Heart Is Healed by Those Whose Bodies Can Heal No More The Music Between Us is a memoir about reckoning with a painful childhood, discovering God, and finding healing in a most unexpected way. Steve Litwer and his two younger brothers were raised by a single, mentally ill mother. His emotional wounds from this resulted in little compassion and loads of resentment, which spilled over into many of his key relationships throughout his life. These were often contaminated by a legacy of fear, agitation, confusion, and feelings of inadequacy. As a young man, Steve wanted to be a musician. Largely self-taught on the guitar, he lacked the talent to play professionally, so he chose another career path until he retired, working for a series of popular music radio stations in Kansas City and Memphis. In his retirement, as a volunteer, Steve began playing guitar music for hospice patients--his song lists included blues, rock and roll, and other popular song styles from earlier decades. As their bedside musician, his private performances and companionship to those nearing the end of their lives began to unlock long-buried memories of his own past. The result? Surprising lessons and new insights about the events of his life and finding the path to forgiveness for himself and his mother. Incorporating moving and funny true stories of people in hospice, this book explores the mysterious ways that Steve has come to understand and reclaim his life through the power of music and the unexpected gifts he received from those who did not have much life left.
