I've read the Billy Mackenzie one. Crazy guy.

The music book I really want to read but have never got around to is Lipstick Traces.

Just finished it. Thought it was well-written, but too long. But I've never been much of a Stones fans anyway, so you may well have a different opinion!

That reminds me. I meant to order that Blue Nile book.

I have John Otway's 'Cor Baby That's Really Me' and Deke Leonard's 'The Twang Dynasty' on the go, but it'll be a while before I finish them in between the fiction. I can recommend Will Hodgkinson's 'Guitar Man'. Really enjoyed that. Also got his 'Song Man' book, but haven't started that.
