I've been laid up for the last six weeks with a broken ankle and I'm down to the last chapter. The book is making a lot of impressions, not the least of which is how freaking much the guy worked - not just personally, but actual gigs.
That's a world that doesn't really exist any more, not like that. Regular gigs playing for live audiences, going from one place to another, weeks at time. Months at a time. Not with "projects", but with bands.
