Working Musicians: Defining Moments from the
Road, the Studio, and the Stage
How does it feel to open for the Rolling Stones, to play Carnegie
Hall or to sit in with Miles Davis? To perform solo before an arena
of screaming, cheering fans? To travel for weeks on end with the same
people, sleeping in a different city every night? To craft the perfect
track in a high-tech recording studio? To struggle to write a #1 song
when you're suffering from writer's block? Based on interviews with
more than 100 players, this collection of incredible experiences and
revealing truths about the world of the working musician describes
all that and more.

Always interested in what other Pollacks are up to--and other

Working Musicians

As my own best audience, as well as most devoted reader, I
will be spending a lot of time with this book over the summer, hopefully
quoting from it, or reading from it, or referring to it.
