5.0 out of 5 stars Hysterical, any and all musicians should own a copy!, November 17, 1999
By A Customer
This book pokes fun at just about every music term possible. I received it two years ago as a gift and everytime I open it I find something funny that I had missed before. Every musician should own a copy of this book!
