You may know Johnny Favourite from the hit CD Holiday Romance that garnered a Juno award, a dozen East Coast Music Award nominations and a Gold album, countless television and media appearances. Johnny Favourite was signed to Universal Music by then A&R Director Brian Hetherman, through a mutual love of Big Band and Swing music, after a few late night cocktails the two recruited Mavericks guitar player Nick Kane to Produce Holiday Romance along with Engineer Jeff Wolpert at the legendary Le Studio in Morin Heights. The international success of Holiday Romance allowed the band to tour non-stop for 5 years: from New Orleans, Louisiana to St. John's Newfoundland and from Los Angeles, California to Nassau, Bahamas, over 300 shows a year generating a hip and happening event at each and every venue. Selling out the world famous SUPPER CLUB in Manhattan repeatedly, and doing the same from the Roxy in Boston to the Derby in L.A. Having the word 'swing' in one's moniker, however, became a dirty word in the fickle and cynical world of pop culture. After much heartache and reflection Johnny left the Orchestra determined to explore the possibilities of pop music from, as he says, 'Tommy Dorsey to David Bowie, from Bobby Darin to Morrissey.' Shortly thereafter Hetherman left Universal Music and Johnny ventured into the pop music world with the creation of The Tonight Album, a departure for Johnny that garnered 3 ECMA nominations, shows with Duran Duran, Natalie Merchant and 2 top 10 Canadian singles. Eventually, being a fat bastard (note Johnny insisted that the fat part be in the Bio), too much touring, too many cocktail parties and opportunities outside North America drove Johnny Favourite to Singapore then Portugal and the sea, not as a sailor but on a Cruise ship, as an art dealer and auctioneer. Where he trimmed way down and got his focus back. After he tired of life on the water Johnny holed up in Portugal selling Art and occasionally singing from Marbella Spain to Gibraltar on private yachts and Villas. A chance encounter in Lisbon with Hetherman his old A&R man and a steady stream of Michael Buble on European radio made Johnny realize it was time to get back to Music. "On one trip alone I saw Buble on the KLM inflight videos, then over the sound system in the Shipol casino, then in the airport cafe in Faro. After getting back to my village, I went to dinner at my favourite Bodega, guess who they had on? My waiter even said, 'hey Johnny, I think this Buble guy is Canadian, ever hear of him?'... I knew I had to get my ass back to a microphone" says Favourite Now that he has returned to his first love, American popular song. Johnny is armed with 6 years of jazz trio singing, and a deft musicality and approach honed by countless nights of 'shedding' as well as the original Sinatra charts. Johnny is a fresh and original entertainer, never relying on old 'gags'. Johnny cut his teeth trying to play swing to 20, 000 kids looking to mosh and held the bar sales record at the legendary Horseshoe for a long long time. With the original team of Favourite and Hetherman, Johnny is preparing to take back his crown with less swing, more verve and jazz and a voice that is sweeter than ever.

New to trauma therapy; loved the book
Format: Paperback
This book was required reading in my Trauma & Intervention class and I loved it so much that I kept it. It is easy to understand if you are new to trauma therapy (which I am). I refer to it fairly often and have absolutely put what I learned to good use. I truly believe this book helped make me a better therapist.

biblical and scientific
I never thought I would say this, but a relationship book has made it to my top ten favorite books. I felt like it was really good premarital counseling in book form. I've had premarital counseling, and it was actually pretty good, but this book was much, much better.
This book is really well written, and the content ranges from the general (for instance, telling you that men and women have different needs) to the specific (for instance, giving suggestions for how to tell if you are still "in love" with someone, or if you just see them as a really good friend you happen to be engaged/married to). This book draws heavily from Gottman's research on marriage. While his work does have its flaws, it's important to note that it is easily the best research on marriage that anyone has ever done. Most marriage theories are based on the author's opinions and what they have seen work for a few couples here or there, but Gottman has done the leg-work so that this book can present some actual empirical understanding of the basics of a good marital foundation. This book also draws heavily on Biblical principles of love, relationships, and marriage. It is unapologetically Christian and suggests at the end of the book that even if a couple is doing everything "right" they need to share spiritual dreams and Christian service.
I read this book by myself when I got engaged to my boyfriend of a couple of years. The book has questions at the end of each chapter to help you consider how the material in the chapter applies to your specific situation. I took the questions seriously and by about 1/3 of the way through the book I realized that I really couldn't marry my boyfriend. I had a hard time letting go of the relationship but in hindsight it was a really unhealthy situation. My friends had been telling me their concerns but I needed to figure it out for myself, and this book walked me through that process in a really low-pressure gentle way.
When I started dating my now-husband I started reading the book again and answering the questions in regard to my new relationship. It was really reassuring for me to see that we were built on a solid foundation. I decided to start over and read the whole book together(which we mostly did in the car) and discuss the questions together. This was probably the best thing we have done for our relationship. It helped us have reasonable expectations for each other and ourselves, and helped us set up good habits as we started our marriage together.
One thing to note: apparently there is a man's workbook and a woman's workbook to accompany this book. For budget reasons, I didn't purchase the workbooks. The book was still extremely helpful for me and my husband, but every few pages it directs the reader to an exercise in the workbook. Some of the exercises looked interesting and others looked repetitive or boring. Discussing the questions at the end of each chapter was enough for us.

Best Marriage Preparation Book
As a pastor of 25 years, I have used several books as part of a pre-marital counseling regiment. This is the best, by far! Not only do the Man's and Woman's Workbooks (I suggest ordering them with the book) make premaritial counseling simpler, I have found that this book hits the nail on the head. Couples who went through the material in preparation for marriage thanked me after they were married, and they shared how valuable this material was in the daily grind of life.
I first heard the authors at a Moody Pastor's Conference in the late 1990's. It did not take me long to determine that I would check out their books. I have since concluded that Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott are exceptional in the realm of understanding human relationships.
Althogh the book is written by a godly Christian couple, this is more of a relational book than a spiritual one, so I would not consider it a complete pre-marital regiment, but a good anchor book.
Whether used in counseling or simply read by a couple in their own quest to prepare for marriage, this book is a gem. The Drs. Parrott seem to have a realistic (and well documented) grasp on the nature of marriage. This is practical, hands on material.
The book is arranged around 7 questions: Have you faced the myths of marriage with honesty? Can you identify your love style? Have you developed the habit of happiness? Can you say what you mean and understand what you hear? Have you bridged the gender gap? Do you know how to fight a good fight? and Are you and your partner soul mates?
Of course no couple entering marriage could honestly answer all those questions with a "yes." But the book provides a good start and helps couples begin to face reality and potential areas of growth.
If a couple follows the exercises by purchasing the workbooks, (like identifying some of your own personal "commandments"--rules you live by that you picked up who knows where and expect your spouse to know and agree with), it could preclude many potential tensions later.
This book could also be used as a marriage enrichment manual. Indeed, many couples (perhaps most) have probably failed to incorporate these solid principles. Indeed, several couples I counseled have identified this exercise as having made a significant difference in their marriages.
To those of you considering marriage, go through this book together, and cosider at least some of the exercises in the workbooks. To pastors and Christian counselors, I urge you to read this volume and consider using it!

Inexpensive, yet extremely helpful
Well written book that can be helpful not only to newlywed couples or those engaged, but also to those who have been married for a period of time. They are thought provoking and encourage dialog on a variety of marital issues. The companion workbooks for each respective spouse is nice.
