Former Rheostatic Dave Bidini takes three done-to-death genres — travelogue, music history and memoir — and combines them into a riveting account of his world travels as a solo performer. There's the drunken hilarity of Finland, the perplexity of China and the inspiring sense of hope amidst tragedy in Africa. In exploring the musical history of the regions, Bidini attempts to come to terms with his pain over the disintegration of The Rheostatics. Warning to Rheos fans: prepare to have your heart broken again.
