"Yes I did get the book (personally signed). The parts I read were very interesting—

Good luck w/the promotion!"

"Well congratulations. You made it. I've read the excerpts and it looks great. Best of luck with the book and hoping you always have more than two quarters to rub together."

Ronnie gets interviewed...

"Great job on the book!"

Ronnie's interview...

Ronnie's book has crossed over to the Christian market

"I am so happy to see that your book has reached the publication phase. Congratulations, and way to press on for that elusive goal that so many would-be writers fall short of. This is really momentous, and I'm so glad to have been a small part of your accomplishment."

"Ronnie, You have a prodigious ability to call up old memories. Fashioning those memories into a narrative and drawing conclusions about what they mean and what you learned as a result is quite an achievement of contemplation and introspection."

"Ronnie, The book looks terrific. I'm leaving for Hawaii and will read it while relaxing in the sun. Thanks so much, and thanks for the personalized autograph."

"In Ronnie Rush's book, we see a slice of Rock history that does not try to bridge all of rock 'n roll music; the words place a small stone in the foundation of the growth of one group's life and travels."

"Ronnie, You did a damn fine job on the manuscript...I wish you much success with this.. and I do hope I get an autographed copy."

"Ronnie, I am happy for you if writing this book brings you any measure of satisfaction and/or compense... I wish you luck with your project"

"Hi Ronnie....Yes I did and thank you very much! I look forward to reading it. I did notice the chapter about Cool 101 and that you mentioned me. That is very kind of you. But let me say this...if you didn't have the talent to do the job, I wouldn't have hired you! All the best to you..."

"Hello Ronnie....Thanks for the book...I read it. It is great. I loved the experiences."

"Ronnie, thanks for getting in touch. I wish you all the best with your book."

"Hey Ronnie...

I did! It’s fascinating... I’m a few chapters in and am enjoying it. "

"On the subject of area authors, former radio host Ronnie Rush recalls his years as a roadie to some of rock 'n' roll's legendary bands in 'Life of a Roadie: The Gypsy in Me'"

"A rollicking, fun story of the life of a man who grew up in the music biz back when all the real talent was live and rocking. From chance encounters with Paula Abdul to a job offer with Elton John, this Roadie's life is a fascinating account of a generation of music through the eyes of the unseen but ever-watching stagehand. Told with refreshing candor and wit, the book tells the story of a young man growing up through difficult times and hard situations, but the star-studded cast and California setting make it seem like a movie script in the making.You won't realize how much you didn't know about your favorite oldies!"

"Congratulations on the book, I have a feeling many people would be interested in your memoir! Wish you much luck with it.

all best,"
