The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto

I very much enjoyed The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom, which is initially set in Spain as the civil war is hotting up.  The character, Frankie Presto, was born in Spain as Francisco de Asis Pascual Presto. The narrator of the story is Music.  It is a sort of "Forrest Gump" story where Frankie rubs shoulders, plays guitar with the best of the best in the music world (including Louis Armstrong and Elvis Presley).  Music tells the story of Frankie's interaction with these luminaries and others who come to his funeral reminiscing about how well he played the guitar and sang.  This is a delightful story as a reader would expect from Mitch Albom. 5/5
