Meet Baseball Legend BERNIE WILLIAMS

Come meet former Yankee All-Star, musician and author Bernie Williams on Tuesday, August 2nd at 7:00 PM for his only Westchester book signing at Barnes & Noble City Center at 230 Main St. in White Plains.  His new book Rhythms of the Game: The Link Between Musical and Athletic Performance by Bernie Williams, Dave Gluck, and Bob Thompson, foreword by Paul Simon, is on-sale now at Barnes & Noble.  Book purchase required, no memorabilia please.

Bernie Williams’s ability to play baseball at a major-league level was directly influenced by his musical training and his deep understanding of the similarities between musical artistry and athletic performance.

Through a series of conversations, narratives, and sidebars, the authors (Bernie Williams, Dave Gluck, and Bob Thompson) discover and reveal the influence of music and its rhythms on the game of baseball. Readers of Rhythms of the Game will gain an insight into the similarities between musical artistry and athletic performance. The book is written for musicians and athletes looking to improve their level of performance on the stage or on the field, as well as for a general audience interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying influence of music on the game of baseball.
