Just about anyone who has played a show, chased a deal, joined a band, toured or auditioned has a story to tell about the music industry. Quite often it involves disaster, disappointment and embarrassment.

Take the story of the girl who found Bob Dylan handing over a guitar and asking her to play a song. She couldn't play guitar.

Or perhaps you might relate to the young hot player who had a chance to jam with his heroes, but imbibed too much LSD and screwed up.

Janet Fisher's Music Horror Stories is packed full of stories such as these. They're sometimes funny, sometimes touching but always worth remembering.
