It is one of the trade secrets of all the religions to propose propaganda that humanity has to be saved. It is a very strange idea, but it is so old that nobody seems to look into the implications. Nobody asks why you are worried about saving humanity. And you have been saving humanity for thousands of years, but nothing seems to be saved. In the first place, does humanity need any saving? To answer this question all the religions have created an absolutely fictitious idea of the original fall, because unless there is a fall the question of saving does not arise. And the religious conception of the original fall is just rubbish.

One of Parade's Top Ten Rock n' Roll Reads As a road manager and filmmaker, he helped run the Janis Joplin show—and record it for posterity. Now he reveals the never-before-told story of his years with the young woman from Port Arthur who would become the first female rock and roll superstar—and depart the stage too soon. In 1967, as the new sound of rock and roll was taking over popular music, John Byrne Cooke was at the center of it all. As a member of D.A. Pennebaker’s film crew, he witnessed the astonishing breakout performances of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop Festival that June. Less than six months later, he was on a plane to San Francisco, taking a job as road manager for Janis and her band, Big Brother and the Holding Company. From then on, Cooke was Joplin’s road manager amid a rotating cast of musicians and personnel, a constant presence behind the scenes as the woman called Pearl took the world by storm. Cooke was there when Janis made the difficult decision to leave Big Brother and form a new band. He was with her when the Kozmic Blues Band toured Europe in the spring of 1969, when they performed at Woodstock in August, and when Janis and Full Tilt Boogie took their famous Festival Express train trip across Canada. He accompanied Janis to her friend and mentor Ken Threadgill’s 70th birthday party, and was at her side when she attended her tenth high school reunion in Port Arthur, Texas. This intimate memoir spans the years he spent with Janis, from her legendary rise to her tragic last days. Cooke tells the whole incredible story as only someone who lived it could.

In the past few years the market for electric guitar kits and parts has exploded. For every two enthusiasts, there are four opinions on how properly to fill woodgrain. In this book, Will Kelly cuts through all that noise and shows how, with a little patience and some inexpensive tools, the average person can turn a modest investment into a gig-worthy instrument and perhaps even a lifelong hobby. Kelly presents guitar-building in a progressive fashion, beginning with a simple Stratocaster-style kit with a bolt-on neck and continuing on to a "relic'd" Telecaster-style build, two Gibson-style set-neck models, and a custom double-neck mash-up. Because each build is more involved than the previous, the reader builds on his or her skill set and acquires only the tools necessary for the reader's level of interest. Kelly shows how to apply finishes, choose and install hardware, wire electronics, execute the final assembly, and set up the finished guitar for proper action and intonation.

Twelve years ago, I asked, "Could I actually build a guitar?" I was 57 years old, hadn't built anything of wood since 1962 in 7th grade wood shop (a coat rack), and owned no woodworking tools. I didn't know people built guitars of their own! But I was intrigued by the possibility. I studied the Stewart-MacDonald catalog and ordered a kit, a 12-fret rosewood and spruce 000. A few months later, I was playing it! It was an amazing and memorable experience. I decided to do it again, and again ... Now twelve years later, many more guitars have come out of my little home shop-all from kits. Brazilian rosewood w/Coastal Redwood... Indian rosewood w/cedar ...mahogany w/Sitka ... Indian rosewood w/red spruce-all kinds of standard and exotic wood combinations and body styles. It has been a blast. And, it has produced this book about acoustic kits-the only book specifically dedicated to acoustic kits and their place in the guitar building world. Complete Guide to Building Kit Acoustic Guitars has helped hundreds, possibly thousands, of beginning guitar builders worldwide to begin to build their own quality acoustic guitars. Until now, it's only been available with spiral binding. With this revision, the perfect binding is also available. Here are a few highlights: Why a Kit? Why not? Tools you'll need and how to save on them Your space requirements (not much!) Where to get the right kit for you How to create a completely custom kit How long it will take to build Tools you can build Resources for guitar builders Detailed building logs for two guitars Complete Glossary of lutherie terms A complete build, step by step ... and a whole lot more, illustrated with over 450 pictures I love building guitars and playing them! I also enjoy writing, and this book has made possible both of those enjoyable pursuits. Completely revised and updated, the book reflects my continuing enthusiasm and learning about this "little brother to luthiery," the building of kit guitars by beginners and hobby builders. This is the only book dedicated to guitar making with guitar kits. It's a specialty, for sure. But does a kit end up being a real guitar? You can bet on it! Some of my guitars, made from choice woods, are the match of guitars created by the major companies in the world, both for playability and tone. And they look great, too! Please take a look into the book, follow a link from page 5 to hear and see a couple of my kits being played. They sound good, but I'm sure yours can sound and look even better! If you've thought about it, now find out about it too! Order your copy today! (Hint, ladies: It makes a great gift for a husband looking for a new challenge!)

This book was written to show that there is an easier way to make a guitar. I have many books on building instruments but they were written by musicians, not wood workers. All too often, they are following a method many years old, but we now have power tools and there are wood shops where we can get boards planed to the correct thickness. The glue of today is far superior to the horse hide glue of yesteryears. I use two brass screws to secure the neck to the body. For me building a guitar is a fun project. When I am finished they look so nice and sound even nicer. Because of this, I decided to write a book on how to build a guitar and use many pictures to show better details. Here in the Northwest we have spruce, though it is becoming harder to find. Our local Maple makes good back and side wood. A logger friend brought me some quilted Maple and asked me to make him a guitar. The finished guitar was outstanding. It is a fun project to go searching for wood to build an instrument, although one needs a bit of patience and happy attitude.
