Eschewing hype Scheff provides a behind-the-scenes perspective from having worked sleeves rolled up side by side with the great artists in their factories.THThe book opens with the TCB band's learning of the King's death while en route to a tour date a pivotal moment for him the rest of the band and the world at large. He then proceeds on a nonlinear journey that mirrors the process of true life-reflection from his roots in San Francisco to his touring all over the world.THThis is a tale of a man who has truly grown a career from a genuine love of music and of his instrument proving how following that gift can bring a person to places beyond his wildest dreams.
