From Graham Nashmdash;the legendary musician and founding member of the iconic bands Crosby; Stills Nash and The Holliesmdash;comes a candid and riveting autobiography that belongs on the reading list of every classic rock fan. Graham Nashs songs defined a generation and helped shape the history of rock and rollmdash;hersquo;s written over 200 songs; including such classic hits as "Carrie Anne;" ldquo;On A Carousel;rdquo; "Simple Man;" "Our House;" ldquo;Marrakesh Express;rdquo; and "Teach Your Children." From the opening salvos of the British Rock Revolution to the last shudders of Woodstock; he has rocked and rolled wherever music mattered. Now Graham is ready to tell his story: his lower-class childhood in post-war England; his early days in the British Invasion group The Hollies; becoming the lover and muse of Joni Mitchell during the halcyon years; when both produced their most introspective and important work; meeting Stephen Stills and David Crosby and reaching superstardom with Crosby; Stills; Nash Young; and his enduring career as a solo musician and political activist. Nash has valuable insights into a world and time many think they know from the outside but few have experienced at its epicenter; and equally wonderful anecdotes about the people around him: the Beatles; the Stones; Hendrix; Cass Elliot; Dylan; and other rock luminaries. From London to Laurel Canyon and beyond; Wild Tales is a revealing look back at an extraordinary lifemdash;with all the highs and the lows; the love; the sex; and the jealousy; the politics; the drugs; the insanitymdash;and the sanitymdash;of a magical era of music.

The melody is on the staff and the chords are above each measure; making it easy for a beginner to play a simplified version of fun songs. I have been playing piano for less than a year and was so excited to find this series of music that I can play. Ive seen some reviewers disappointed with the EZ Play format; but I think thats because they did not realize what they were purchasing. It is not a full arrangement. It is simplified so that it will be easy and beginning piano students can be encouraged and have fun with a great song collection. I highly recommend this and other EZ Play books for the beginning or casual pianist.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

NaquinChristmas gift for my son; hes 7 and just started piano this past year. The notes make it really easy to play; and its just the basic tune of the song; so he recognizes it and loves it; but its not overly complicated for him.
