Don't Bother Knockin'... This Town's a Rockin'...: A History of Traditional Rhythm and Blues and Early Rock 'n' Roll in Buffalo, New York

Unlike most books on popular music, this book focusses on the musicians' personal experiences (lots of oral history here) rather than long analyses on so and so's drumming technique. Therefore, it is an interesting read- not boring for someone who is not a musician. What else is interesting aboutthis book is the style in which it is written. It is very simple- sometimes almost too simple- the exact opposite of academic writing. I felt like I was 13 years old again listening to my relatives talk in the family home basement bar in Cheektowaga- that is if they were more hip and actually knew about this kind of music.Lee, Patti Meyer is the author of 'Don't Bother Knockin'...
