I Will Play Again George Howard Newton

The story reveals a musician whose father was a Nevisian and his mother a Puerto Rican. By ten, Henry played the piano; and later, he attended the Free School of Music Academy in Puerto Rico. He founded the Sunstones, a band of teenaged players, and was later contracted as the bassist in Reggie Ashby Quartet.

Driven to attain a big name for himself, he relocated to Miami. He composed over thirty songs, yet he never realized his dream. To support his family, he established an interior decorating business, and his music became a side hustle. In his late fifties, he contracted cancer, which overwhelmed him, and brought much pain to him and his family. His passion and love for music and his wife were unmatched. In his hopelessness, that love affair was the main constant in his life that led him to believe, "I will play again."
