About the Authors:
The New York Times Book Review said that Peter Duchin was a living compendium of a hundred years of social history. . . . He has lived a life another man would not have survived. Orphaned by his glamorous parents, the Newport debutante Marjorie Oelrichs and the famous bandleader Eddy Duchin, he was raised in the privileged, old-money world of Averell Harriman, the diplomat and former governor of New York. He grew up to be America's preeminent society bandleader, effortlessly entertaining and charming partygoers at Truman Capote's Black and White Ball, the White House, and thousands of society galas. As he recalls his life and relates the frank, often surprising recollections of the many friends and famous figures who made up the strange family of his youth, Duchin also explores the changing face of social
Peter Duchin is vice-chairman of the New York State Council on the Arts.
