    “Five minutes!” is yelled into our dressing room as we are preparing to entertain approximately 14,000 people. Currently, I’m on tour with one of the hottest music acts in the world. The dressing room is quiet, but you can hear the rumbling of the building as concertgoers are getting to their seats and getting settled. There is energy about the physical building, almost as if “it” is going to perform. As a band, we circle up and say a prayer. We give thanks for our talents, strengths, and ...

“I pre-ordered this book as a gift for my kids who are "wanna-be-musicians" whereas I am a "non-musician". With the 'pre-order' I received a pdf file of the book, immediately downloaded and printed so I could preview my purchase... I was hooked from page one! I found the book to be not only insightful but also intriguing. It's nice to have this "window" available to us so that we CAN take a look at the 'inside' of what goes on in a musician’s life! Thank you Chad for opening the 'curtain' for us!!”

“I gave my nephew the book last night and he’s a few pages shy of finishing even though he had to report to work at 6 this morning. He read the cover and said “I’ve heard about this” He said his co-worker told him about it, said it was informative without all the jargon and suggested he read it. – That’s great! Word of mouth! My nephew said the book has a lot of good pointers and it’s really an easy read (which I could tell at a glance).”

It is so refreshing to know what happens on the other side of the fence as far as where a musician has to go and what they have to do in order to entertain "us" the fans. I have a new found respect for all musicians. This book had many helpful hints that I could put towards my own career as well. Chad you did an amazing job. Congratulations!
