Customer Reviews

Inside the MIND of an entertainer's entire life !

This book, written in the first person, actually invites one into the very thoughts that Mr.Cason has as his memory interacts with some of the most well known and famous entertainers in the entire music industry. The book is just the "right" length of read - not too long - and full of insight and humor! It includes many photographs too! I would love to go to one of Mr.Cason's book signing's - I know that this first edition will increase in value over time.

Heros Abound In This Tale of Rock 'n Roll

Heroes are found everywhere in the story of a Nashville kid who made good in the brutal business of music, beginning in the late 50s and still going strong in 2004. Autobiographical in its first person telling, this story regails to us tales of "the early days"...before belly piercing and techno grooves, when some of the biggest names in rock and pop music were fledgling acts, just kids. I found myself asking how one person accomplished all these things and met all these people while turning pages as quickly as my eyes could pass the story on to my eager brain. The creativity of Buzz Cason shines brightly from the pages of this delightful story, pictures being proof of the pudding of the rememberances most of us could only imagine in some fantasy life. The photos alone are worth the cost of the book. Every book shelf should sport a copy of this delightful look back down the road over the long, fun trip it's obviously been for the author. I'm getting it for practically everyone on my Christmas list!

Buzz Captures the Music and the Makers

Over the years, I've read dozens of music industry books. This book has to go to the top of the list for history and entertainment, that covers a time like no other on the planet.
