Review
This is the book I should have read before Glenn Wheatley's Facing the Music (2010). Each chapter is divided into short sections, with the final section being a Q&A with the subject. It is a bit of a fanboy book: you won't find anyone who is highly critical of any of the subjects. But that is not always a problem in a compact format such as this book. Probably the chapter on Ian Meldrum was my favourite, as I learned how a two week stayover at singer Ronnie Burns parents' house turned into a nine-year lodging!
