Still A Minstrel: Searching For the Soul of Music

Still a Minstrel is the poignant personal narrative of a musician's journey through life and around the world as he searches for the soul of music.

Compellingly honest, entertaining and inspiring, Still a Minstrel is Suess's account of key events that led him to become a psychologist and music therapist, as well as a musician and songwriter. Suess explores the power of music to forge connections by reminiscing about the escapades of his traveling rock band, his years as a jazz pianist presiding over a lively piano bar, and using music therapy as a psychologist to connect with hard-to-reach clients. He insightfully illustrates how science, culture, technology, and religion affect our response to music.

Equally appealing to music fans, musicians, and mental health professionals, Still a Minstrel is the joyous story of a musician and healer using his own gifts to help others find their paths in an often confusing world.

Larry Suess holds degrees in psychology and music therapy, and is a Licensed Psychologist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He maintains a full-time psychology practice in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is a lifetime member of the legendary Minnesota band, The Canoise, and has twice been inducted into the Minnesota Rock/Country Hall of Fame.
