TIPS AND ADVICE FOR THE ASPIRING SINGER/SONGWRITER/MUSICIAN/PERFORMERBacked up by true stories about rock 'n roll stars on tour as told by some guy who happened to be there at the time. STUFF THAT YOU WILL FIND NOWHERE ELSEWhat are the critics saying? "EXCELLENT AND HIGHLY ENTERTAINING " - Sandy Kenyon, Entertainment Reporter, WABC-TV, Ch. 7, New YorkWHAT IS THIS BOOK ALL ABOUT? In an era where records, radio, press and TV don't matter as much anymore, songwriting and live performance are everything. And the art and craft of songwriting and performing haven't changed.

That is what this book is all about.
