When Gussow auditions to play harp for Chris Zaic and Yeige Farm, I wanted to yell into the book, "Look into the booth behind you!" He would have seen me, found me inspiring, and I'd be in the book.

@rdhardesty: I've never heard of Chris Zaic and Yeige Farm, and there's no mention of them in the book. I did, however, once audition for the Bordash Brothers in Princeton, NJ, which is why I used their real names and put them in the book. I'm halfway through my fourth book. If you get back on your meds, I just might put you in my fifth book.

Great storytelling, man, it was like being there.

[Bennognome]

WOW! That was some great storytelling there man! What a great story, like ozjthomas said, it was like being there with you, standing on the sidewalk. The book is so written very well! That sure was some impressive work Mr.Gussow.

@KudzuRunner Joe Bordash! Well it's a good thing you didn't look over at me. My buddy was trying to drink a milkshake through his nose. Hey, I know I sold two copies of Mr. Satan ... one was an audio book if there ever was such a thing. It went to Belle Mead buddy Dave Renson, who backed Johnny Winter's one-time harpman, the late Pat Ramsey ... but you've already thanked me enough.

Mr. Adam, excellent book, I just finished it. I was so sorry to finish it and have this end. If I ever run into you, I sure have some questions.

[summitporter]

Just finished your book this week Adam. People that don't play, don't get it. I can't play like you, but I love to play. Thanks for lessons. Thanks for the book. ~ BAG

Hey Adam, I managed to get a copy of the book at the American Bookstore in The Hague (Netherlands) some 2 years ago when Iyou started on You Tube.I read it with great pleasure, but for me (being dutch) there where many words I didn't know. Esspecially words to describe a feel or a a scene etc.

To keep the flow I didn't look up those words and managed to "get the picture". These last three vids made me understand more and feel more because the way you express yourself. An Audio book?

[MrHilbert]

Don't write me out of the screenplay; I can get a toupee and play myself.
