Danny Shafer Songbook

"I have a bittersweet connection with the road, it's a way of life. I found it really comfortable."
Boulder open-mic icon Danny Shafer

In the book, readers get a feel for the all-encompassing adolescent craving that hits those destined for a career in music. In one chapter, Shafer writes, "I can't remember much about 1985. All I know is I wanted a band more than I wanted a girlfriend."

"In high school, I'd open up the phone book and call every bar until someone gave me a gig," said Shafer.
