Undiscovered Dinosaur

From the late 1960s until the late 1980s, American expatriate Mick Lee was a working musician in the United Kingdom and other European ports. His gigs covered a wide spectrum, from playing for beer to opening for the Moody Blues at Wembley Arena. During these years he forged close friendships with some of the legends of the London music scene, including Graham Bond (a founding father of the British blues and jazz scene), Chris Wood (member of the band Traffic), and Paul Kossoff (of Free.) These friendships plus Lee's own career development led to associations-and sometimes 'adventures'-with an assortment of musicians and other personalities within the music business. The result is a personal memoir recollecting a life in music, a life that includes experiences with musicians of all types and conditions-from celebrated rock & roll royalty to anonymous street-corner buskers.
