Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Reviews: I got the book and will be taking it on my flight to London.So cool, can't wait man. - Brian Ray, Guitarist for Paul McCartney Ronnie, You did a damn fine job on the manuscript.I wish you much success with this. and I do hope I get an autographed copy - Joe Frank, of Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds (PLAYBOY RECORDS) Ronnie, You have a prodigious ability to call up old memories. Fashioning those memories into a narrative and drawing conclusions about what they mean and what you learned as a result is quite an achievement of contemplation and introspection. - Will Lyman, narrator FRONTLINE (PBS Television) Synopsis: In all of Rock 'n Roll, it was the least of all cool jobs, but everyone who did it, wanted no other job: Roadie. No show ended or started without them; they were there hours before and hours after a concert. It paid minimum wage with no benefits. But if you toured with the right group, you were dead in the middle of history. Few Roadies write their history, their personal stories, their pain and joy. But in Ronnie Rush's book, we see a slice of Rock history that does not try to bridge all of rock 'n roll music; the words place a small stone in the foundation of the growth of one group's life and travels. (Ross du Clair, Chief Engineer, Clear Channel Radio, Sacramento, CA) I've been to hell and back and shook hands with the devil, and I'm still walking tall without the smell of smoke upon me. -Ronnie Rush This book is about my experiences in the music business, starting from when I was a roadie with all the experiences I had with the artists I worked for and continuing through my times in radio until my retirement. The title, Life of a Roadie: the Gypsy in Me, describes how it was that early on, even while growing up, I had a gypsy-like personality that gave me the capacity to travel the United States. Life of a Roadie also tells about how I grew up and who I am, the history and personality that drove me to be able to handle the road and the success I experienced. I'll be taking the reader on a true-life journey that was mostly brought on by luck, circumstance, experience, and personal drive to succeed. There are three things I have always told people when I was approached and asked for advice from many of those who wanted to be a Roadie, while I was in the music business: Never give up, never give up, never give up On the subject of area authors, former radio host Ronnie Rush recalls his years as a roadie to some of rock 'n' roll's legendary bands in Life of a Roadie: The Gypsy in Me.-Al Pierleoni, Sacramento BeeRonnie turned to the written word and wrote his first book, a memoir of his life entitled Life of a Roadie: The Gypsy in Me. He sketches out his time on the road as a roadie in what he calls the least cool of all jobs .the roadie. Ronnie went on to write a second book, Walk a Mile in My Shoes, which is more of a philosophical reflection on his life's experiences.-Brook Williams, The Social Publication: A local Sacramento Magazine*Sacramento News & Review - Local News Paper (copy & paste)www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content/last-of-the-boss-jocks/12579753/.…
