A Dream About Lightning Bugs: A Life of Music and Cheap Lessons, by Ben Folds

Before the 1997 hit song “Brick,” and before he performed with symphonies across the country, the piano player and songwriter Ben Folds was a self-described “weirdo” who listened to records eight hours a day and learned to play multiple instruments while growing up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. In this memoir, Folds weaves stories about his family and his own life with unvarnished just-do-it advice to writers, musicians, and creative folks of all kinds, weird or not.
