This book is a must-have for any aspiring pianist whose joy for the instrument was crippled years ago by a screeching, hair-bunned old biddy who constantly yowled, "Once more with feeling!" It is literally a God-send; even better--it's actually funny. Thankfully, the authors presented the material in an irreverent, smart-alecky style guaranteed to not only inform, but amuse. You'll not only learn, you'll guffaw; but by no means take this book lightly--no music book before it or since will top the invaluable information within it.
