One thing you can be sure of when you're a touring musician....

you're going to read a lot of books!

We thought we'd share some of our favorites with you and,
should you be interested in any of these titles,
we've arranged with amazon.com to order directly from them
-with a secured order site, of course -
and even get a 20-30 percent discount along the way.

(By the way, check out the What's On The CD Player page and
