Publisher's Synopsis
JOHN LENNON'S LEGACY CONTINUES with Come Together: The Official John Lennon Educational Tour Bus Guide to Music and Video. This beautiful full-color book features interviews with music and songwriting tips from outstanding musicians including John Legend, The Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am, Macy Gray, The Eagles' Don Felder, and The Grateful Dead's Bob Weir, with a foreword by Yoko Ono Lennon. "This is precisely the kind of project that John would have loved," says Ono. Filled with photographs and featuring a companion DVD-Rom, COME TOGETHER is part how-to, part celebrity interviews, part technological showcase, and part travelogue. It's truly an enlightening read for music aficionados, fans, students, songwriters, producers, engineers, teachers -- anyone with an interest in music. The non-profit John Lennon Educational Tour Bus is a professional mobile recording and multimedia studio outfitted with the latest in audio and video technological advances as well as traditional musical instruments. Since 1998, the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus has provided free hands-on programs to hundreds of thousands of people at high schools, colleges, Boys and Girls Clubs, music festivals, concerts, conventions and community organizations. Across America throughout the year, students work with the staff of onboard engineers to write an original song, record and mix the song, and create a music video of the song's performance - all in one day! Many celebrity recording artists work with kids on the one-of-a-kind Bus, providing music and production expertise as well as guidance and encouragement. A portion of the proceeds from this book go toward supporting the non-profit John Lennon Educational Tour Bus.
