As a "schlepper" to recording engineer Phil Ramone at New York City's A&R Studios, Glenn Berger was witness to music history on an almost daily and nightly basis as pop and rock icons performed their hit-making magic, bared their souls, and threw epic tantrums. In this memoir, full of anecdotal observations of legendary musicians-including Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, and Mick Jagger-Berger recounts how he quickly learned the ropes to move up from schlepperhood to assistant to the tyrannical Ramone, and eventually, to become a recording engineer superstar himself.
