Here, in Tales from Beyond the Tap, Randy tells more great stories from a life in rock—all of the fun, hardships, and adventure that haven’t been featured on the radio. This is Randy Bachman, unplugged! Tales from Beyond the Tap gives rock fans a VIP tour on an extraordinary life in music. Randy has met, and even performed with, almost every musician you can think of, but who are the artists he wishes he had met? The answers may surprise you. What is Randy’s creative process for writing a hit song and what is it like working with some of those famous musicians? When you’ve played thousands of gigs over a fifty-year career, from church basements to Madison Square Garden, they can become a blur—but there are some performances that stand out. And life on the road is not as glamorous as most people imagine. Randy shares his experiences from station wagons and six-to-a-room motels to custom coaches, jets, and luxury suites. Randy has seen the Canadian music scene develop from the beginning, and his thoughts on its evolution will make you appreciate the music even more. And for the first time, Randy discusses his roller-coaster relationship with former Guess Who bandmate Burton Cummings. Tales From Beyond The Tap offers a rare and exclusive glimpse behind the man, the music, and the show that puts radio back on top.

Parham Itan: Tales From Beyond, Volume 1
Author: Kaili Sorano
Publisher: TOKYOPOP
ISBN: 1427863695
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Yamagishi and Sendo are schoolmates, but that's about as far as their similarities go: one is a short, no-nonsense boxer, while the other is a tall, bookish conspiracy nut. But when they find themselves embroiled in a paranormal phenomenon at school involving plant-faced monster people assimilating innocent victims, it seems they'll have to set aside their differences and work together as best as they can. Of course, it doesn't help that the only one with any answers to this bizarre situation is a mysterious "paranormal investigator" named Akisato, who insists they must find some sort of "key" to stop it all — before giant insects and other preternatural perils from the world "beyond" get to them first. Inspired by Lovecraftian horror and the Call of Cthulhu, this is a brand-new manga series from the creator of Monochrome Factor!

Improving Your Storytelling
Author: Doug Lipman
Publisher: august house
ISBN: 9780874835304
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
The first steps in storytelling are often easy, because we tell stories informally every day. Once you take storytelling into the more formal contexts of performance or occupational uses, however, you may be faced with challenges you hadn't anticipated. You need information that goes beyond the basics. And you need it in a form that does not just tell you what to do but helps you make your own informed decisions. This book is meant for the reader who has already begun to tell stories and is ready to learn more about the art. Instead of rules to follow, it gives you a series of frameworks that encourage you to think on your feet. Doug Lipman has written and taught extensively on the art of storytelling. With the same generosity and warmth that characterize his workshops, he considers the teller's relationship to the story, the teller's relationship to the audience, and the transfer of imagery in a medium that is simultaneously visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.

Once the mighty fortress had stood strong, defended by the mightiest of all Drenai heroes, Druss, the Legend.

Tenaka Khan was a half-breed himself, hated by the Drenai for his Nadir blood and despised by the Nadir for his Drenai ancestry. But he alone had a plan to destroy the emperor. The last heroes of the Drenai joined with him in a desperate gamble to bring down the emperor -- even at the cost of their own destruction.
