One Last Dream for the Dying: The Crucifixion of Louis Armstrong
It had been a good seven years since Darius ("Weasel") Wheeler III had heard from his erstwhile employer and bar owner, Norman the Neck; seven years worth of working a straight job. He's finally fully invested in the straight world, and like so many such, often finds it a wretched, but viable, charade. So when he is suddenly awakened on a Monday morning to hear Norm's voice urgently telling him to meet him in a teal Mercedes parked in front, he has the gut wrenching sense that the wrong side of the law will probably be the only side of the law.

About the Author

Justin Niall Scanlon has lived the life of an intellectual nomad. Educated at Rutgers College and subsequently taking a Masters in English Literature at Columbia Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, he abruptly turned to the life of a post-punk New York City musician who doubled on jazz guitar. The writer of Email From Afghanistan and co-writer of the 80's AOR hit Dancin' in the Ruins by Blue Oyster Cult, he qualified for ASCAP membership. He co-wrote about thirty titles with Larry Gottlieb for PeerMusic, along with three Russian translations for Shapiro-Bernstein. Recently, he has had some photojournalism published in On the Town Flint magazine.

Additionally, he has worked as an adjunct professor, corporate promotions coordinator, math tutor, and performer on electric guitar, bass, and nylon string guitars. His musical work, good, bad, or ugly, is available on iTunes. Additionally, some selections are available free on a number of sites, including reverbnation.com. He can also be found on numerous YouTube videos, as well as the usual slew of anti-social media sites like facebook and instagram. Interested parties are free to google.

There are about seven years of his chronology for which few, if any, records exist. About that blank, he will only say, "I am content to leave it so."
