Bob Marley made hell tuneful, like nobody before or since. It was in this setting of grim delimitation that Marley first found what would give his life purpose: Kingston’s burgeoning and eccentric rhythm & blues scene. In the late 1940s, Jamaican youth had started to catch the fever of America’s urban popular music - in particular, the earthy and polyrhythmic dance and blues sounds of New Orleans.

Reviews about At the Table: My Life and Times (2):
Yannara
An excellent read for those desiring to learn about some of the history regarding the great game of Bridge. It also highlights the path of one of the greatest players in the history of the game, Bob Hamman. Provides a fascinating perspective of the highly competitive aspects of bridge at the global level.

Hammans bridge career is quite interesting. I didn't know that he had been in the Bermuda Bowl before the Aces. Reading about some of the Aces training methods (the group criticism, and allocation charges for misplays) was interesting. There are plenty of funny stories thrown in.

Lots of interesting hands. Certainly a good biography.

But for me, there was a lot more. Hamman is famous for not getting rattled and putting bad hands behind him. There was Hammans discussion of certain conventions, and what he percieves as negative trends in Bridge.

Of all the bridge biographies I've read, I liked this the best.
