“…an example of what an institution like Florida A & M University and the Marching 100 can produce! A hunger for music and love and with steeled determination, Chapman Sweet, Jr. is a man on a mission to reach his goals and is willing to go to the ends of the earth and risk life for it. “One Week Gig” is authentic, humorous, and heart wrenching. Seen from a voyeur's point of view, this is a story of the trials and tribulations that can occur in some marriages."

“It gave me great pleasure indeed to read One Week Gig. It was overwhelming, impressive, hilarious and simplistically powerful!!! Chapman Sweet Jr. was so realistic and he definitely kept my attention the whole time. The book is a reality for some relationships and how we can over come in spite of. You are doing amazing work Rufus and I will definitely refer this book. Thank you for producing such a top class high quality book. It reflects all the attention you put into it; and that???s what I call results!"

“Rufus Curry uses words as an artist uses paint on a canvas. Through his words, it is possible to "see" his characters and their surroundings. One Week Gig explores the marriage relationship, individual dreams and God-given talent. Chapman Sweet steps out in faith and finds God's plan and purpose for his life."

Lyla Edwards

    "This you know: men speak in bullet statements and women speak in fine print. Women’s romance novels focus on relationships and men’s novels focus on action and accomplishment. This is a most unusual book because it narrates relationships from a man’s perspective. And this is no wimpy man but one who feels heartache, disappointment, joy, and takes risks. The central characters are so well developed that two Gig readers could discuss the characters like discussing family. Women who want to know what goes on in the male mind should definitely read this book. The active story line carries male readers through the narrative. Besides hungering for the sequel after finishing this book, the reader will be challenged and empowered to examine his or her relationship and those dormant, sublimated dreams and ambitions that most of us are not courageous enough to revisit."
