- 1 Want to read
The memoir of a boy who decides that drums are his passion. We learn about the training and experience needed to become a member of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (1965-1991). Akins shares the highs and lows in his career and explains the workings of an orchestra and describes his first appearance at Carnegie Hall. After his playing career ended, he became a senior manager with the ISO. Throughout he gives details such as the creation of William Kraft's Timpani Concerto Number One, the mystery of being honored with a titled chair and a peek into his life away from music as a sportscaster, broadcasting games and interviewing top athletes.
