Book Number: 55661
ISBN: 1740458788
Publisher: Pier 9, 2006
8vo softcover with french flaps. 272pp very good+. As well as being one of Australia’s best-known and best-loved musicians, jazz virtuoso James Morrison is a great storyteller, as this rollicking memoir shows. His adventures will delight, surprise and amuse you. They include living on a derelict sailboat in freezing New York in justified hopes of making it big there, sneaking over the wall of Government House with his girlfriend, who turns out to be the Governor’s daughter, and much, much more. James has packed about three lifetimes’ worth into his 43 years and this book is an action-packed and entertaining ride through the highlights.
