But That's Another Story: My Life In Shorts!

TOM HUNNEL has played mandolin, guitar and banjo in string bands for almost half a century. For ten of those years he and fiddler wife Sue toured the taverns, hotels, nightclubs and bars of the western U.S. and Canada as working musicians, in a live-in housetruck chock-full of instruments, sound equipment and pets. The quick, punchy anecdotes in this book-from Tom's Army tour of Vietnam through a succession of freewheeling Old-Time groups from the '70s till now-bring to life a parallel story to the more familiar rock 'n' roll tales of the era. Whiskey Creek String Band, Poodle Creek Pickers, Fiddlin' Sue, Uncle T & Johnny, and the current Fiddlin' Big Sue Band made and continue to make music that's as heartfelt and relevant as it is rowdy. It's an alternative American Songbook, one with roots in the 19th century and still timeless to modern ears.
