false 5616906 1 Bill Bruford - once called 'the godfather of progressive-rock drumming' - has been at the top of his profession for four decades, playing with Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, Earthworks, and many more. This is his memoir of life at the heart of prog rock, art rock, and modern jazz. It is an honest, entertaining, well-written account of life on the road and in the studio - rubbing shoulders with the famous, the less famous, and the infamous, and creating an impressive tally of great music.A rock musician with the temperament of a classical musician who became a jazz musician, Bruford defies all the cliches about drummers. He says: 'You write what you have to write, you play what you have to play, because you can't sleep at night. If you can sleep at night, you shouldn't be doing this anyway'. From time to time, at polite dinner parties, someone will ask Bill what he does. He replies that he is a musician. 'Yes, but what do you really do?' retorts the enquirer. This unusual, funny, and insightful music memoir answers the question. 5788296 1 3 2009 Bill Bruford: The Autobiography total:16|5:4|4:7|3:3|2:2|1:0| 16 61 24 4 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 4 1 false Tue Apr 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 03:21:11 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 09:24:35 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 4 0 false Sun May 03 08:45:34 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 20:23:13 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 5 0 false Fri Apr 24 05:03:11 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 05:47:15 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 0 0 false Fri Nov 20 02:05:12 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 02:05:21 -0800 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 4 0 false Wed Nov 18 11:53:50 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 11:53:50 -0800 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 3 0 false Thu Nov 05 05:45:37 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 05:45:37 -0800 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 4 0 false Wed Sep 16 13:25:08 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 13:25:08 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 0 0 false Mon Sep 14 05:43:21 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 15:25:52 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 4 0 false Tue Nov 17 11:35:46 -0800 2009 Thu Jul 16 09:52:41 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 09:52:54 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 0 0 false Mon Aug 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 06:22:35 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 17:36:30 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 5 0 false Wed Jun 03 07:58:16 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 07:58:21 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 0 0 false Mon Jun 01 06:10:45 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 09:09:25 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 08:14:02 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 5 0 false Fri May 22 13:37:36 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 13:37:36 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 0 0 false Fri May 22 11:44:03 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 11:44:20 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 0 0 false Thu May 21 11:40:08 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 11:40:14 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 5 0 false Wed May 20 21:32:15 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 21:32:15 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 3 0 false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 12:51:51 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 12:29:09 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 2 0 false Fri Apr 17 05:11:28 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 06:06:06 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 05:11:28 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 3 0 false Sun Mar 15 07:40:31 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 09:49:48 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 07:40:31 -0700 2009 5616906 1906002231 9781906002237 16 4 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5616906.Bill_Bruford_The_Autobiography 4 0 false Tue Mar 10 11:08:10 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 02:37:06 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=5616906
