A View from the Side

This book is a must-read for any bass guitar player with aspirations of stardom!

With A View from the Side, musician Michael Visceglia (known for playing/recording with Suzanne Vega, Cindy Lauper, Jackson Browne, and more) attempts to give the reader a window in which to view the lives, aspirations, adventures and misadventures, phenomenal successes and tragic failures of some of the leading practitioners of an art that he is intimately familiar with: playing the bass. Through stories of his own experiences, along with the interviews and profiles of his influential peers, Visceglia provides a compelling look at the nature of the pursuit of the artistic life.
