Even though I have an iPad -- and created the original Enhanced Edition of the book for iPad -- the Kindle is my "go to" device for reading. Aided by designer Kio Griffith and the terrific technology team at Alfred Music; weve replicated the paperback edition plus added many more photos (and all photos can be enlarged by tapping on them). The photos -- just like the stories -- come from my archive of fortunate experience getting to play with such groups as Weather Report; Steps Ahead; Steely Dan; the Stan Kenton and Maynard Ferguson big bands; and artists like Joni Mitchell; Diana Krall; Michael Brecker and Jaco Pastorius; composers such as John Williams; Vince Mendoza and Mark-Anthony Turnage ... Im one lucky drummer. The book is "thanks;" but the book is also frank in its telling of the trials; tribulations; triumphs and tragedies associated with many of contemporary musics artists over the last four decades. Three years in the writing and a lifetime in the making; "No Beethoven" is my story and the story of my colleagues and heroes. Thanks.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. "A wonderful life!!!"By Liam CharlesAs a child of the late fifties; I was raised with "MUSIC!" It seems; music was the background score through-out my early life.Peter Erskine shares a fantastic tail of growing up in that era and the journey of a "gifted" child along an anoited path . From the first to the last page; the writers point of view shines forth like; a backstage pass into a "world of musical privilege!"This autobiography is a ride on a "bullet train" through Peter Erskines facinating life.And-------; if youve any love for the "fusion music" born in the 70s; its an extremely enjoyable "must read!"P.S. Be warned; this "read" is difficult to set down.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Petes not just an awesome drummer... but an all-around great guy!By DanPetes not just an awesome drummer... but an all-around great guy! I have loved Weather Report since I began playing drums as a teen; and his drumming was a great influence on minehellip; but also later in life; as I got to know more about him; realised he is also a great role-model for other drummers musicians; with high integrity; morals and a keen willingness to help othershellip;I am glad he wrote this book to help people be able to get a glimpse into his wonderful life; and those of his fellow bandmates as wellhellip; I wish more people would write their stories; like elders passing on their wisdom - we have so much to learn from them!Thank you; Pete
