Frank McGee has built a powerful work as a writer and journalist over half a century. In the tumultuous 1960s he covered stories as far afield as Brazil, Indonesia, and Viet Nam. As managing editor of "Pace" magazine, a modern of "Life, Look, and Holiday," he worked with understanding leaders from around the world.
During the 1970s, McGee launched and edited "New Worlds," the signature magazine of California's Orange Coast. The University of California at Irvine tapped him to write the coffee table book commemorating the school's first twenty-five years. In the '80s and '90s, he authored and edited books on a range of topics that were published in a dozen languages. Today, he lives with his wife in Tucson, Arizona.
Tyler: Thank you, Frank, for joining me. You're here today to tell us about your new book "A Song for the World" which tells the story of how the Colwell Brothers and Herb Allen used music to bring peace and diplomacy to the world, particularly straight through the group, Up with People. To begin, will you tell our readers a diminutive bit about how it began?
