The book THE MUSIC DETECTIVE by Pat Garvey says it is "part memory, part made up".
Quite interesting bits about people and places a musician on the road
will identify with. Names of many music venues, I assume to be from
his memory.
Quite interesting section about Lionel Killberg. Member ot THE SHANTY BOYS (Mike Cohen (guitar), Lionel Kilberg ('Brownie' bass) and Roger Sprung (banjo) recorded one album for Elektra, EKL 142 Off Beat Folksongs.
Owner of the Shoostryng label which recorded a bunch of albums Sociologically Singing, and the first recording of Kate Wolf !!!

Anyone else who has read it ? Comments ??

Thomas.
