I have been totally immersed in the creation of my new book: MUSIC SMARTS: Survival Tips From The Pros, a 2009 handbook from Boston’s esteemed Berklee Press and the musical media giant Hal Leonard Publishing. Edited by Mix founder, David Schwartz.

It’s a killer compilation of 600 choice quotes and 200 animated head shots, a virtual gallery of the musical life, lined with intriguing reflections on heroes, influences, artistic integrity, improvisation, collaboration, performance, recording, power, money, fame, and rejection—all in one bountiful bento box stocked with hard-won wisdom, surprising pratfalls, stark realizations, and not what you might expect. Here’s a photocollage of faces from Chapter 3, Careers.

We’ll be back soon with a total redesign of this website, and a provocative way in which you, too, can enjoy a “Mr. Bonzai” lifestyle. Why not? It’s a Free Country.
