SALISBURY, N.C. - April 13, 2023 - PRLog -- Music Composer James V. Cockerham is adding the title of Author to his decades-long journey as a recognized African-American Music Composer. Following the 2019 Performance of his orchestral arrangement of "Fantasia on Lift Every Voice and Sing," it was performed again by the Gateways Music Festival Orchestra at the historic Carnegie Hall in 2022. Cockerham knew his life-long love of music was a story that needed to be shared.

His debut book, Looking: Past, Present, Future is a collection of stories told from a creative writer's viewpoint.

Inspired by the music program at his beloved Alma Mater, Livingstone College, his book release will coincide with "The All Steinway School" Initiative for Livingstone's music program to achieve the honored status to bring funding, awareness and support.
