A Dream About Lightning Bugs by Ben Folds

A Life of Music and Cheap Lessons

A candid, witty memoir by a pianist-songwriter that traces his upbringing in the South, rise through bands and solo work, and the messy realities of life on the road, parenthood, and creative reinvention; blending humorous anecdotes, frank admissions about failures and fame, and clear-eyed reflections on the craft of songwriting and the compromises of adult life, it reads like a conversation about music, memory, and the small lessons that shape an artist.
