Who's Gonna Take Care of Lucille?
Who's Gonna Take Care of Lucille? | Art Halperin
1 post | 1 read
"Instruments are meant to be played, not displayed."
Renowned Haitian American violinist Jean-Pierre Solomon is at the pinnacle of his career, yet despite his success, a deep sense of boredom gnaws at his soul. When blues legend B.B. King dies, Jean-Pierre is plagued by prophetic dreams in which King entrusts him with his beloved guitar, Lucille, and an unfinished song.
While Jean-Pierre dismisses these visions of B.B. King and a white buffalo as crazy dreams, Kimana, his Lakota girlfriend, interprets them as a sign from the divine. Digging deeper into the significance of King's message, they conclude Lucille and the song were meant for another musician, prompting Jean-Pierre to set out on a quest to find the rightful recipient.
His journey takes him from New York City to Chicago to the heart of Mississippi, where the blues runs deep in the veins of the Delta. In a world where instruments have souls and dreams carry messages from beyond, Jean-Pierre's life takes a dramatic turn from the mundane to the mystical.
Rich with humor, magic, and a heartfelt reverence for the power of music, Who's Gonna Take Care of Lucille? swings between the sublime and the absurd, celebrating the universal language that connects us all—to the unexpected harmonies of life.

An assumed, fictitious account of the power of manifestation and how deeply it is encoded into familial DNA, this nod to Haitian Voudou, Native American folklore, metaphysics, and the human need to search for purpose will appeal to readers who subscribe to polytheistic perspectives.
