Taking Woodstock

If you were not there and are from a later era, you might dismiss Woodstock as a memory out of all proportion to its actual signifcance and a symbol of a generation’s naivety. Elliot Tiber was there, and was a critical part of making it happen.

Love Me Tender
Price:
AUD 39.99
Author:
Max Cryer
Forty popular and traditional songs are featured in this book which tells the story behind the music. We might say we love a song; we might hum along each time we hear it; and we might be able to call up lyrics in an instant without hearing a song for years. But could we say we know how a song came to be? It is fascinating to learn where some of the most enduring songs had their start. For instance, if Miss Jane Ross had not written down the tune she heard played by a piper at an Irish village fair in 1855, singers as diverse as Bing Crosby and Eric Clapton may not have recorded Danny Boy.
