""Like hooking myself up to a creative battery charger! Elaine Ryan expresses everything I've always believed about the power of music and the arts. Being a musician is so much more than seeking fame and fortune. It's about finding that connectivity within yourself that helps you to understand the power of being an artist and holding on to the belief that there is true value in pursuit of one's dreams. There is incredible fulfillment in even the attempt at songwriting. The act itself feeds our creative soul and opens the door of possibility. I will recommend this book to all my friends and family."" Pat Simmons Guitar Player & Singer with The Doobie Brothers
