Bob Wiseman believes most things in life are universal or, as Lauryn Hill says, everything is everything. Bearing in mind that advice, Wiseman writes about finding the link between music and daily life, like what is common between Mary Margaret O'Hara hiding around the corner with the lights turned off in order to record herself and his five-year-old insisting he stop hurrying to her dance lesson and marvel at the fluff ball she is blowing toward the ceiling.

Produktbeschreibung
Bob Wiseman believes most things in life are universal or, as Lauryn Hill says, everything is everything. Bearing in mind that advice, Wiseman writes about finding the link between music and daily life, like what is common between Mary Margaret O'Hara hiding around the corner with the lights turned off in order to record herself and his five-year-old insisting he stop hurrying to her dance lesson and marvel at the fluff ball she is blowing toward the ceiling. Each entry is unique and compellingly written, but the themes throughout -- on improvisational music, life lessons and conflict -- are ubiquitous. "A must-read for musicians, students of music, parents of students of music and anyone who's ever thought an MRI machine sounds like industrial ambient rock." -- Carolyn Taylor of Baroness Von Sketch Show "o my, this is f--ing genius!!! Making me smile like a 2 month old baby farting!!! Real fu--ing cool style of writing. I'm sold on being amazed by page 2!" -- Rami Jaffee of Foo Fighters "Bob embodies the Toronto I lived in for ten years. Self-deprecating, artistically puritanical and totally comfortable wearing overalls at the bank." -- Graham Wagner, writer for The Office and Portlandia "Music Lessons is funny, tender and at times profound. It is a brilliant and unusual memoir of a life dedicated to music told by a silver-tongued storyteller." -- Scott Thompson of The Kids in the Hall Bob Wiseman likes having fun. He was on CNN lying about wanting to change his name to Prince; he played accordion on "If I Had $1,000,000" by the Barenaked Ladies; he produced Kid in the Hall Bruce McCulloch's Shame-Based Man; he was the composer for The Drawer Boy, winner of the 2018 Best Feature Film at the Canadian Film Awards; and Odetta took his hands in hers and kissed them after hearing him play prepared piano at the Bitter End on Earth Day 2000. He was also a founding member of Blue Rodeo but he quit in the early 90s when he no longer found it as fun as when it started.
