Colwell’s memoir is pure fun and, for many, a joyful trip down
musical memory lane.” Booklist
Colwell’s memoir provides the distinctive perspective of a rock
personality. . . . When he puts himself into the story, as when he
discusses the introductions he used to do for Bruce Springsteen at
live shows or his time at D.C. radio station WHFS 102.3, the
narrative comes alive.” --Publishers Weekly
"Like his voice, Cerphe’s book, written with Stephen Moore, is
smooth and inviting." --John Kelly, Washington Post
Somewhere in the 1960s, someone said Let’s put some rock and roll
music on FM.’ So there weren’t that many people listening, so not
much pressure. The FM stations became very creative. You could play
what you wanted and you could create an art form out of your own
broadcast. Cerphe was involved in this.” Frank Zappa
I've been a fan of Cerphe for decades, as a friend and a musician.
He's always searched for and shared great music with his radio
listeners. I always appreciated Cerphe’s sharing my own music, too.
I've enjoyed many colorful discussions with Cerphe through the
years about the wonders of all types of inspired music, and believe
we share a common belief that music is truly our planet's sacred
weapon. I recommend his book to all music fans.” --Nils Lofgren,
solo musician, member of the Rock Hall of Fame with the E Street
Band
