He's back in the game! This book is amazing! My friend who is a music teacher and I were listening to a review of this book on NPR when it caught our interest. On a subsequent trip to Target, we found this book. Upon finding said tome, we proceeded to excitedly read aloud its contents. My favorite part is where the woodwinds use flattery to deflect the blame. My friend's? The decomposing pun. If a book can entertain ...             Wishful Drinking118 reviews Carrie Fisher Simon & Schuster, 2008 If you need a stimulus package........ Have always loved black humor and skewed personalities and this book does not fail in both respects. Everybody needs a Carrie Fisher in their life. A very quick read which I have now sent to a friend who was crying the blues. I know that does nothing for a retailer but it was like sending bandages and blood plasma to her. She called and said "May I keep the book" and I said yes because she ...             Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain, Revised and Expanded Edition101 reviews Oliver Sacks Vintage, 2008 Musicophilia Fascinating book on the power of music to disturb, inspire, or restore the mind. As always, Oliver Saks relates the story through personal stories of his patients as well as some of his own experiences with music. There are quite a few footnotes in the book, making this a somewhat more scholarly than average read.             Guitar Fretboard Workbook83 reviews Musicians Institute Press, 2003 Best fretboard book I bought this book about two years ago and went through all the exercises. I have a much better understanding of how to compose chords, how play arpeggios, and have gained much better understanding of scales. In essence, this book has been the foundation of music for me. I liked how the author presents the material and later I bought his "Chord-Tone Soloing" and "Music Theory" books. I am very ...             The Chord Wheel: The Ultimate Tool for All Musicians30 reviews Jim Fleser Hal Leonard Corporation, 2000 Great invention I started just using it, and I think I will use it all the time, when I start writing music.

When I ordered a Diana Krall CD, I received two of the same CD rather than two different ones. I can't imagine why I'm having this ...             Teaching Little Fingers to Play: A Book for the Earliest Beginner (John Thompsons Modern Course for The Piano)19 reviews John Thompson Willis Music, 2005 Great service Very satisfied with vendor and product and time it took to receive it.

And, that is as far as I've ...             Play Piano in a Flash: Play Your Favorite Songs Like a Pro -- Whether You've Had Lessons or Not!66 reviews Scott Houston Hyperion, 2004 You will play piano by following this book. I took some lessons as a child and gave up. I took another piano class in college and that was tedium as well. Then I saw one of Scott's PBS shows demonstrating his method and I thought to myself, "I can do that!". Well, in no time I was actually playing the piano to the amazement of my family. Three years later I can pick up any guitar/piano book and play any song in it.

Eventually, it cultivated into a huge out of control addiction. But the addiction that really threw him over the edge was heroin. It was true love.
