ACOUSTIC STORIES is Bill Amatneek's collection of stories from his life and friendships as a string bass player. Whether accompanying Peter, Paul and Mary or showing Bob Dylan to the stage, readers of all ages will find some treasure within these pages. I have to say some of the musicians were beyond me - musically I'm a child of the 80's. However, I did grow up on Peter, Paul and Mary music, thanks to my mom. Bob Dylan's lyrics impressed me, but his singing never did. And suffice it to say, I have never been a fan of The Grateful Dead. But that's okay! There were so many neat stories included. I loved learning a bit more about the life of a musician, learning more about some of the unfamiliar artists, and the pictures included are fun to look at! Regardless of your musical tastes, I think that ACOUSTIC STORIES is a must read for any music fan. Without being able to look at the music of the past, music of the future wouldn't exist.
