Review
Dear Passengers, You know that feeling you get in the deepest recess of your gut when you discover something GREAT and you want to share it with all of your friends? Well, I ve got that feeling right now, and it s about a book on songwriting that you HAVE TO read HAVE TO!! I don t make a penny on this, so you conspiracy theorists don t need to wonder what my motivation is for being so enthusiastic ;-) The book is called, "Michael Anderson's Little Black Book of Songwriting", and it's 86 pages of pure gold. Anderson wrote one of the most evergreen Country hits of all time, "Maybe It Was Memphis", recorded by Pam Tillis, so he knows what he s talking about. This book is such an easy read, and has so many INCREDIBLE tips in it, that it can help beginners as well as professionals. You re going to love it.
