Face the Music by Greg Anton (See more about the Author) |
San Francisco, 1975. Woody, an artistically brilliant, socially inept street musician, is just getting by. Inspired by Stephanie, the love of his life, he writes an amazing song that could launch his musical career. Then an unexpected betrayal leaves him fighting for his relationship, his song and his future. Hopelessly disorganized, armed only with his guitar and unique sense of humor, Woody tries to persevere against the inequities of the music business. Passion, desperation and intense idealism propel him head-on into the challenges of surviving as an uncompromising artist. Face The Music is a story of love, self-discovery, and the spiritual power of music. "Greg exposes the insularity of the pop-music business with stunning veracity…an insider's look at its highs, lows, and a whiff of the steaming guts, delivered with style and verve…not incidentally featuring an unforgettable leading lady. Good sh*t!" - Robert Hunter, Grateful Dead lyricist "Thoroughly captivating and enjoyable…generally, words are inadequate to express emotions that can be easily conveyed by a piece of music; but this book flows like a moody, mystical, musical composition" - Barry "The Fish" Melton, (Country Joe and the Fish) "A hard-rock and read, it's so heavy, it's light." - Wavy Gravy; author, clown, ice cream flavor "Greg's descriptions of situations that pertain to music, the music business (and people), land smartly on the pages of this entertaining, poignant novel. Lay back and enjoy the read, and maybe have a chuckle or two at how closely you can relate, as I did!" - Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay, Muscle Shoals recording artist "Face the Music resonated with me on many levels. Finding one's way as a street musician, being socially awkward in a "people" industry, creating art from life--this is my story. But Greg Anton has the chops as a writer and storyteller to make these themes universal so anyone can relate and can love this book as much as I did." - Stanley Jordan, jazz guitarist |
