Bill Graham Presents by Bill Graham
As a child, Bill Graham fled Europe to escape Hitler's armies. He grew up on the streets of New York and in the dining rooms of the hotels in the Catskills. After failing as an actor, he headed for San Francisco right before the Summer of Love where he founded the Fillmore and launched the rock icons of a generation- Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, the Grateful Dead, and more. He was a complex, caring, compassionate whirlwind of energy who rock stars either loved- or hated.In his own voice and those of the people who knew him- Jerry Garcia, Keith Richards, Grace Slick, Ken Kesey, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, and Carlos Santana- we hear Bill's story as well as the scoop on the major events in rock for more than three decades, ending with his tragic death in a 1991 helicopter crash. Gritty, moving, funny, and always fascinating, Bill Graham Presents is the inside story of the explosive and unforgettable man who created the business of rock.
Robert Greenfield is a former international fashion designer, once dubbed 'Britain's answer to the Italian Look', and a well-respected interior designer, whose work is often featured in the press. In 2011 Robert's autobiography Samphire Coast - driven by his experiences of owning a quirky award-winning boutique B&B in North Norfolk - was published by Vanguard Press (Pegasus): it continues to be one of their best sellers. Robert is currently working on a crime thriller, from his new woodland home on the North Norfolk coast: it's based on his dreams for a Worldwide Dog Protection Law. If you enjoyed this book, a review would be really appreciated by the author, even if it's just a couple of words on Amazon or any online retailers of The Cedar Cage. Reviews help expand the author's audience.
