The latest book I read was MEMORIES by Ralph Emery. I enjoyed it as it reminded me of Kevin's time behind the radio microphone. I love reading about the stars he has talked with and interviewed. His childhood is one of poverty with determination to better his life.
Throughout the book, he worked hard to maintain respect for his craft. I have watched several of his shows and interviews and have always enjoyed his interviewing style. Since my husband also has a passion for radio and interviewing, I have seen first hand how hard it really is.
His personal battles with drugs and love is also discussed which places a realistic tone to the book. This book increased my respect of the person that is Ralph Emery.
Yes, this is an older book. I purchased it at a thrift store and as a pleasant surprise, I discovered it was autographed (to the previous owner), but that was a nice addition. Maybe it will be worth hundreds of dollars in a few years?!? Maybe ?!?
Looking forward to reading his follow up, also purchased in the thrift store, but not autographed.
