Backstage Chronicles with Carl Miller

Backstage Chronicles with Carl Miller
Q: Tell me about the thinking behind the book, because it's a compilation of stories of you and also a lot of people that you've known over the years?
I thought, wouldn't it be nice to get some of the other guys in, you know, some of the heavy lifters and give them a bit of limelight, if you like, you know, because, quite honestly, mate, I think they've got better stories than the musicians.
Deniece Pearson of Five Star
Q: Did you ever talk about how difficult it was?
It wasn't hard; we made the best of it.
