Kin to the Wind - A Troubadour's Magical Journey Around The World With No Money, a Foreword Magazine adult nonfiction Book of the Year Award finalist in 2012, is the story of my 1960s troubadour travels with backpack and guitar. 

SYNOPSIS:

Just to see if it could be done, and playing my own kind of music, I backpacked with an Andalusian flamenco guitar clear around the world via 50 nations without even once using money as a means of exchange. I crossed the Arabian Desert with a camel caravan of champagne-smuggling Bedouins, met a ghost in the Himalayas (for real!), was attacked by beggars in Tunis, played for Pablo Picasso in Aix-en-Provence, and performed at Chitra Lada Palace for Their Majesties King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit of Siam.

The Communists offered me outrageous money if I would defect. The maharaja of Sandur gave me his gold watch after my performance for him and his enchanted ravens in Bangalore. One of Africa's most beautiful women became my friend in the Casbah of Algiers, and a Spanish duchess lured me away from the grenadine gypsies with whom I was performing in Old Town Granada, took, me home and got me visas for several African countries. A British warship, HMS Eastbourne, took me across the Indian Ocean as guest of the queen. Through it all there was a beautiful charm at work, born of my trust in Love and my faith that Love governs.

I’ve completed a screenplay version. Hunter Gomez, a professional Hollywood actor, has read both versions and expressed interest in playing the role: http://www.moromusic.com/moro-s-book.html
