Tim Ghianni News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

Many of us who were inspired into journalism as young people identified with a certain archetype - the newspaper man, the truth-telling, ink-stained wretch who fought the good fight, loved great stories, and took no guff but had a tender heart.

New from Backbeat Books, it’s called Pilgrims, Pickers And Honky-Tonk Heroes: My Personal Time With Music City Friends and Legends in Rock ‘n’ Roll, R&B and a Whole Lot of Country.
