It's Dilla Time. Finally. Dilla Time is the story of the invention of a new kind of time, a new kind of sound. by the most influential music producer of the last 25 years, someone you may never heard of: J. Dilla. He's revered by rappers and producers from Kanye to Kendrick Lamar, and he worked with the likes of Michael and Janet Jackson--but Dilla himself never rose to mainstream fame, despite revolutionizing the way music sounds before his untimely death at the age of 32. . In Dilla Time, Dan Charnas chronicles the life of J. Dilla, from his gifted childhood in Detroit, to the rare medical condition that caused his tragically premature death. He also records the histories of American rhythms: from the birth of funk and soul in Dilla's own Motown, to techno and disco. Here, music is a story of Black culture in America and of what happens when human and machine times are synthesized into something totally new. With the help of analysis by musicologist Jeff Peretz, Charnas teaches us to

故事，讓人感動的同時，也學到人生的道理！【作者的話】官以甯 從小我就愛看繪本，我發現「故事」可以讓人在感動的同時學到各種人生的道理。除了當個讀者，我也想嘗試透過繪本與讀者溝通，分享自己的想法和領悟，並且用故事描寫大家在生活中遇到的困難，讓我們跟著主角一起學習與成長。 在本書中，我想傳達兩個想法——首先，真正展現我們人品的，更大程度是來自我們的選擇，遠多於我們的能力（It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.）；再者，不管他人怎麼看你，都不要停止做正確的事（Don't stop doing the right thing no matter how others think of you.）。 就像書中主角狐狸小橘面臨的處境，儘管牠善良又喜歡幫助別人，但不管牠做了多少好事，大家依然不相信，認為「狐狸都是壞蛋，所以小橘一定也是壞蛋」。 讓我們一起想想：小橘應該堅持善良的本性嗎？或是乾脆順著大家的成見，當個壞蛋算了？看完繪本，相信大家終於學會了：要用一個人的行為來判斷他的好壞，而不是看外表。而小橘也明白了：要堅持做對的事，因為決定我們未來的，是我們做的「選擇」。【爸爸的話】官振魁那個餵故事書長大的孩子…… 以甯是個用故事養大的孩子。受到汪培珽老師「餵故事書長大的孩子」啟發，當年還是新手爸媽的我們，從月子中心剛回家，就開始每天唸繪本給孩子聽，中英文繪本都唸。 爸爸的床前故事是每晚的重要儀式，上了小學演變成「DADA阿姨説故事」加爸爸唸《西遊記》。等到《西遊記》裡的妖精不再驚奇，「把拔，你自己編一個妖怪」——我們家的私房西遊記於焉登場，每晚準時上演。 即使出差國外網路訊號不好，向客戶告罪一聲後，我們有請孫大聖在越洋電話中克服難關，讓寶貝女兒可以安然入睡——雖然被安慰更多的，是説故事的爸爸。幾年下來，唐三藏師徒額外收服了超過一千位妖怪，「西天」成為遙不可及的夢想，而「故事」也成為我們家的重要夥伴。 一如預期的，孩子飛快地長大了；有點出乎意料的，這個用故事養大的孩子，現在想把自己創作的故事分享給其他的孩子。 這次，那一千個妖怪跟我們夫妻，拉張板凳坐下，一起靜靜欣賞……
