ACOUSTIC STORIES: PLAYING BASS WITH PETER, PAUL & MARY, JERRY GARCIA AND BILL MONROE AND EIGHTEEN OTHER UNAMPLIFIED TALES by Bill Amatneek: Author Bill Amatneek has spent his life with music. He was the bass player on the first David Grisman Quintet album, a writer for Rolling Stone, banjoist with Frank Wakefield, and much more. This book consists of a series of stories of life in the culture of the eclectic (but primarily acoustic) musician of the late 20th century. Peopled by names like Tony Rice, Kate Wolf, Peter Rowan, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Aretha Franklin, Frank Wakefield, David Grisman and others, these entertaining and thoughtfully related tales mark Amatneek as a fine storyteller, and reveal the human nature of some of our finest musicians. Awarded Best Music Book by the Bay Area Independent Publishers Assoc. in 2004. Recommended. 187 pp.
