It's like every day is a Jimmy Buffett song with margaritas, island beaches, and blue seas. Who could ask for more? Cruise Ship Piano Bar Entertainers make great money, travel to exotic locations around the world for free, work with talented and attractive people, have food and lodging provided at no cost, and receive medical care without being billed. If that's not enough, these same lucky entertainers spend days relaxing in the equivalent of 5-star hotel resorts and hang out with friends every night being offered free drinks. And let's not forget that people drop handfuls of cash in the tip jar every night to hear their favorite songs! If you are a pianist-vocalist who dreams of having that kind of life, Dr. Gregg Akkerman has written the "how to" book you've been waiting for. The Author Walks the Walk! After a lifetime of working as a musician/educator/author, Akkerman is handing over all his prized experience for exactly what it takes to prepare for, obtain, and keep an awesome job as a piano bar entertainer. He's performed on hundreds of cruises for thousands of guests and knows every detail of the job. Now you can learn from the best, known among cruisers as Piano Dude Gregg, and start on your way to an awesome music business career. IT'S ALL HERE: How good you have to be to start How much money you can make Contacts at booking agencies A review of all the cruise lines What life is really like in the crew-only decks. You'll be provided a list of the exact job skills cruise lines are looking for as both a pianist and vocalist. But, more importantly, Akkerman gives you his secrets to winning over the crowd as not just a musician, but as an entertainer. There's also a list of over 300 songs you should know including the "Never-fail" top-50 and "Must-know" Big-10. You'll be shown easy-to-learn steps to learning songs faster, incorporating technology, what you need in your gig bag, and notated accompaniment patterns to create your own arrangements. To top it off, there are dozens of PROTIPS based on battle-tested years sitting at the piano bench surrounded by smiling fans having a great time. Even Non-Musicians Love It! There're pages of "behind the scenes" dirt on what it's actually like to live on a cruise ship and what the crew members really think of all the guests. You'll be the only one in the piano bar who knows what the entertainers truly feel about having to play "Sweet Caroline" for the millionth time! Your Career as a Piano Bar Entertainer is Waiting!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Cruise Confidential, Brian David Bruns spills the dirt — or in this case, the dirty water — on those romantic, fun-filled vacations at sea. His hilarious chronicle of the year he spent working for Carnival Cruise Lines takes readers down into the areas where the crew works and lives, leaving readers gasping with laughter as they’re assaulted nonstop with events that range from the absurd to the utterly bizarre. Stewards fighting over food. Cutlery allowances and other nonsensical rules. What the crew calls those onboard (no, it’s not “passengers”). And of course, the sex. An abundance of ready, willing, and able bodies eager for action on a vessel replete with nooks and crannies leads to love in some mighty strange, and seemingly impossible, places. Breezy, entertaining, and informative, Cruise Confidential is essential reading for those planning a cruise or for anyone who just needs a good laugh.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anton and Nina met in fairytale fashion while each was preparing for a highly regarded international competition in Moscow. They fell in love at first sight, engaged in an impulsive romance and were married in a matter of just a few months. After their graduation from the Moscow Conservatory, they soon discovered that the road to success is slow and has many perplexing hurdles. What becomes of Anton, a talented young pianist, when the bright artistic future that has been promised to him since childhood, fails to materialize? What surprises does life have in store for Nina who is a beautiful and talented young singer and an aspiring classical vocalist? Two years of drudgery, playing in small Russian cities for a modest salary and living close to the poverty line, convinces Anton that enough is enough. He decides to emigrate to Canada, where he is confident that the life of a musician would be much easier and vastly more rewarding. He eventually persuades his reluctant wife to abandon her own vocal career in Moscow and to emigrate with him. The new Canadian immigrants soon learn that the roads are not paved with gold in their adopted country either. Will they finally achieve artistic success in Canada or might they be forced to return to Russia? Will the couple's marriage endure? Music of the Wandering Stars is a tale of discovery, romance, and destiny. It reminds us all of the inner battle we all face with love and what it does to us.

And then some weird stuff happened too! Just another day on the job for the Piano Dude. If you can call "living the life" performing in exotic locations around the world an actual job. Gregg Akkerman's life as an entertainer reads like a Cohen brothers-meets-Jimmy Buffett screenplay that never ends. Is it really just one Caribbean island and piano bar full of bizarre characters after another? Maybe that's why he's always smiling. You'll find out before the book is over. A true-crime, first-person account of America's most twisted musician serial rapist? See Chapter 11. Skinny dipping with 6-time Grammy winners? Yeah, it's in there. And what about that awkward phone conversation with Bill Cosby? Look in Chapter 19. When asked why he wrote this book, Gregg replied: "To be honest, I get tired answering all the same questions: 'How long have you been playing? What's the craziest thing you've seen in a piano bar? Can I give you a back rub?' I'll just put all the answers in one place and say, 'Buy my book, and a little lower to the left.'" He adds, "My memoire is a series of vignettes, each representing a poignant moment of my life as a musician and Dude on a path to being less of a dumbass. Some of the chapters are just for kicks, while others are more serious, but it's been a heck of a great ride so far. If I'm not living a charmed life, it'll do until the real thing comes along." A sampling of chapter titles includes: Getting Naked with the Chieftains College Girls and Vicious Fish George Benson Must Think I'm an Idiot Show Tunes and Lipstick Lesbians In the Slammer for Janet Jackson A Night in a Cruise Ship Piano Bar ...and much more! Whether you are a cruising enthusiast, a piano-bar junkie, a musician, or just a reader of quirky "I wonder if that really happened" memoires, you'll find this book a page-turning winner. And just like "Sweet Caroline," the most popular song in the piano bar, you'll shout out that Gregg's life story is "So Good! So Good! So Good!."
