I've just finished reading this book which details the West Coast music scene during the latter part of the 60's and through the 70's and beyond. Concentrating on the Laurel Canyon artists including CS&N, Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell and the Eagles it describes the trials, tribulations and tragedies which occurred during this period when great music was produced. It seems incredible that so many of the artists survived given the copious amounts of drink and drug cocktails they managed to consume. A very interesting read with some classic photos. Worth ordering from the library although it is readily available from internet suppliers. _________________ Nilbert Zilbert
