"Mikel Rouse is a composer, songwriter and performer of tireless inspiration, a true maestro. He is also an unpretentious expert at life and how to live it. This delightful book is engaging, funny, a great reflection of and meditation on Mikel's many passions. But above all, it's refreshingly candid and specific about how a maverick artist manages a creative life. Where other musicians serve up a lot of 'look into your heart' gobbledygook, Rouse gets down to the nitty gritty about putting together his various ambitious projects. It isn't always pretty. But the work itself--and this book is of course a part of it--is always beautiful."--Glenn Kenny, author of Made Men: The Story of Goodfellas
