Absolutely on Music

Just a quick few words on this book. It is so nice to read thoughts, and thoughts they are, on music by a musician and a music lover, it certainly is much better than a professional “reviewer”. The thoughts read true and sincere and less to do about ego but on really sharing thoughts and ultimately the love of music these two gentlemen have.
