Companion
Against all odds, young Joey fights to hang on to his dream of becoming
a musician. His father is dead set against this, tries to humiliate the
boy, and finally resorts to cruelty to keep him from achieving his goal.
As he grows, he learns the value of friendship and a mother's devotion.
He falls deeply in love with a beautiful girl in high school but marries
another who is willing to support him financially as he pursues his
music education. This triangle romance nearly destroys the lives of the
two women who love him. Tears and Trombones is filled with music from
Mozart to Johnny Cash, from Shostakovich to The Beach Boys. It is an
emotional story that will make you laugh and cry as you witness what
Joey gives up to reach his dream. Tears and Trombones is a roller
coaster of highs and lows with humorous twists and poignant turns as we
watch Joey pursue his dream.
