Hey Stacey!
I’m pumped that you are promoting Dave’s book. I began reading it many years ago, many times over, and I wrote and recorded a song about the whole thing.
I’m a musician, and the song I wrote is called “Call of the Wheel”. It’s an ode to the writers’ road, and is about reading the book and living the rock’n'roll dream vicariously through Dave’s story, and staying at home instead of touring. (As well, it includes the adventures one can live by reading other books).
If you want to add this song to your argument in any way, I’d be happy to share it with you.
Humourously, Dave’s book didn’t work completely to vanquish my dreams of rock’n'roll touring- I’m recording this song and 13 others, and going out on tour this summer, with my wife and dogs!
All the best with Canada Reads and your own exciting career!!
Sincerely,
Sandy
