A love letter to music and sound.
From the trenches.
In book form.
“Just 100* Questions” is a book about music and sound. It's not a technical dissertation on how sound works or how music affects us. Rather, it is my love letter to an industry - an industry that I have spent 50 years in - and to the people in the trenches. It’s for anyone in, or interested in the inside stories of musicians and the professionals behind the scenes that make it all come together. By asking just one question per person, the answers required deep and focused thought about the topic yet deliver a simple and insightful message to understand. It's also my autobiography created by 105 of the most talented people I've ever met.
“Author McVeigh lets the stories and people who tell them speak completely for themselves—there is no embellishment or aggrandizement, merely a portal right into the people, places, and circumstances which enable great work in the music industry. Top touring acts will come and go, but the men and women who assure these shows go off without a hitch, or are the side-stage artists whose reliably faultless performances empower the stars to shine brightly, are themselves not only unsung heroes but genuinely intriguing characters.
Pick up a copy! You’ll be tickled and delighted by the insights this book yields!”
A new book, Just 100* Questions by Greg McVeigh offers an insider’s look into the dynamics that make live sound reinforcement such a vibrant industry. Featuring insights from sound mixers, musicians and executives in the pro audio industry, Just 100* Questions shines the spotlight on the people behind the scenes who make concerts come to life. Rather than long-winded lengthy interviews, McVeigh asks top 100 professionals just one specific question based on their background and expertise. Individually, each “interview” is fun and punchy – full of joy and personality. But taken as a whole, the book is a veritable who’s who of the industry.
