New Memoir (pdf):
Carl Banner: My Life and Thought

"What is the equation that includes suffering and creative work as terms?"

This memoir is a collection of Banner's thoughts about his life and music, and a reflection on the difficult childhood that shaped him as an artist. It is not for the faint of heart!

…powerful, vulnerable, wise, thought-provoking….” Rabbi Rain Zohav
