Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of 21 stories about people born in Tacoma who left to pursue musical opportunities elsewhere, as well as musicians from other places who chose to make Tacoma their home. They include performers, teachers, and entrepreneurs. Taken as a group, they can teach us about important themes in Tacoma history: the lofty dreams of those who came to the "City of Destiny" over a century ago; the cultural impact of having a large military base in our community; the influence of teachers who pass along their knowledge to new generations.
