Great Storytelling Book

If you want classic reading of great adventures read "The Singin' Salmon Man from Cornet Bay." This is a story about a classmate of mine who I remember as Arnie the singing accordion player. When we finish school and go on with our lives, we never know what lies ahead.

Well what a life Arnie had. I am sure that anyone can relate to one adventure or another that he experienced. It is a great storytelling book about this fun and very multi-talented man. A great story and a must read, besides it makes you hungry for more tales from Arnie.

Cowboy-Singer-Entrepreneur

As friendly and charming as Arnie himself, this book stands as a tribute to the pursuance of the American Dream.  Arnie "did it his way," with a determination that has been rewarded with success. The sweetness of life in the 40's and 50's (we were poor, we were at war, but we were happy) sets the stage for this cowboy-singer-entrepreneur.

Follow his rollicking bumps as he travels along finding himself in an interesting array of friendships, ultimately finding his best, the lovely Joanne and the continuance of their lives, demonstrating their skills and passions, definitely a slice of the American Pie.

Friend and fan, Sue Christensen.

Local Guy, Local Story - The Singin Salmon Man from Cornet Bay

Being new to the Skagit Valley area, I found I can learn about a new area by reading books written by local authors. Picking up and reading "The Singin' Salmon Man I ran into a local man who's life  was so interesting I couldn’t put it down. It starts out with a local guy fishing in the Deception Pass area  and  fast moves him into a national role finishing up by starting a fish based food business from of all places Nashville. Who could write about smoked salmon and the Grand Ole Opry in one sentence? Well Arnie can and does.

This is a fun fun informative book about a man who starts small and doesn't know when to stop. A great read well beyond a local guy with a local story.
