I started to read a really good book this week. I'm only fifty pages through it now, but it's full of valuable infos with names and stories. I checked a few of these guys on Youtube and I always come up with something. Check it out. ISBN 0-06-052423-5

Enjoy.

that looks like a really interesting book thanks! Right now I am reading a biography of John Paul Jones by Samuel Elliot Morrison. I have wanted to find it for years until a week ago I found a copy at the thrift store in excellent shape. :)

My wife just got me The Illistrated Dictionary of Guitars. Nice pictures and history behind the companies listed in the book.

Keep them coming guys, I'm sure a lot of us are taking notes. :wink:
I didn't post them earlier because I haven't start reading them yet but hey what the heck. I bought them not long ago and they are next on my reading list.

I read Clapton last summer and just finished up "I'll Sleep when I'm Dead" a biography about Warren Zevon. Both excellent reads.

I will check out Escaping the Delta.

Thanks Claude!

I saw something about Warren Zevon a while ago. Very cool and talented guy to be able to fill in the Dave Letterman show during Paul Schaffer's vacations, you have to be some kind of a guy. So sad to die so young. Thanks Beaubs.

"One Train Later" by Police guitarist (and fellow telecaster player) Andy Summers is excellent. Lots of cool stuff about his life before the Police exploded into pop culture. He's a very talented writer.

If you're a Bob Dylan fan at all, you have to read this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Chronicles-One-Bob-Dylan/dp/0743244583/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1231029012&sr=8-1

Unfortunately there isn't a Part II yet!
