A memoir book by Don Falcone (Spirits Burning) quoting Third Ear Band and Ursula Smith.


"Don Falcone presents a world where anything can happen and often does…collecting albums and then recording with some of the musicians on those albums…reading paperbacks and then collaborating with one of the authors (Michael Moorcock). Resurrecting a club band into a collective—Spirits Burning—with almost 300 classic and independent rock musicians across 20 albums.

A world where mistakes are made, lessons are learned, and dreams are brought to life. With over 125 of the Spirits Burning crew ready to provide their thoughts."

(from the press release of publisher Starway Press)


Announcing the book, Don wrote me: "I wanted to let you know that I wrote a book (musical memoir). It has input from Pete Pavli, mentions Ghettorage and Third Ear Band, and has entries for all the Spirits Burning collaborators (including Ursula, Simon House, and Pete). I do mention your part in helping me contact Ursula."
