Enjoy Normally I rank books higher. The background on me is: I am making quite the study of 'all things Scottish', so I bought the books without much background.This is a very nicely written book and covers a lot of minutae for the reader.I don't have any knowledge of the Scottish Music Scene in the 60s70s80s.so much of the book was lost on me.
