1 Baton, No. 2 Pencil, 88 Keys and Liberace, by Bo Ayars, is a collection of musical memories from his years spent in the entertainment profession. From child prodigy in Bakersfield, California, to conductor for celebrity entertainers in Las Vegas, it's a well-traveled road with many stops: piano bars, lounge shows, off-Broadway productions and symphony orchestras, all leading to his thirteen-year tenure with Mr. Showmanship, Liberace.
