It may seem merely a fantastic dream, if not for the fact that it is completely true. JoJo introduced Sargent to the water and to his family, friends, and daily life, and from then on she was hooked.In this book, their friendship becomes even more amazing as JoJo starts to introduce her to other dolphins in particular mothers and calves. With JoJo's help, Sargent is accepted into and is able to swim with pods of wild dolphins. Mother dolphins even let Sargent “babysit“ their calves while they are fishing. What can a dolphin teach a human being? Plenty. Inside the pages of the author's deeply personal journal, the true and cross-barrier values of friendship, love, loyalty, and trust are displayed with a disarming charm and touching honesty.

Legendary Los Angeles music producer John Dolphin was one of the first, most well respected and successful black businessman and independent record label owners, well before Motown ever existed. In 1948 he opened the celebrity-filled Dolphin's of Hollywood Record Shop in Los Angeles on the legendary Central Avenue, a music mecca on the west coast that compared to Harlem in it's heyday. Dolphin's contributions to music and the formative years of Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll, are often overlooked. John Dolphin was the epitome of a record businessman, a big man with a big cigar, and big talk. A mini-mogul he would have nearly every facet of the record business covered. Dolphin's of Hollywood record shop and radio show became the most popular black radio show in America. Recording artists appeared at the store and performed live on-air interviews and would greet and sign autographs for customers.During the time of great racial segregation in Los Angeles, one man, John Dolphin, had the vision and forsight to create the crossover music concept. He went on white radio station KRKD and played a black music format, marketing black music to whites. White kids would pack the Dolphin's of Hollywood record shop in the all black neighborhood of South Central Los Angeles, nightly. Dolphin's of Hollywood radio show featuring Huggy Boy as deejay was the first to play and break the song "Earth Angel" by the Penguins and within weeks of its release it shot to the top of the billboard charts. His contributions in music spans from Jazz to Rock'n'Roll, and goes beyond music -- his record shop and radio show would bring together all races during a time of segregation in America, and his decision to take a stand for Civil Rights in his protest against LAPD harassment of black business on Central Avenue, is a continuing inspiration.

A great tale of American history, African American history, Music history, and Los Angeles history all in this one, incredible true story.
