Eric Hansen (1) (1948–)

Enjoyed the opening story about the homeless woman and the ballerina and the story that contributed the title.

I love books that combine crime & nature and this one does so nearly flawlessly.
It is entertaining throughout, with tales of colorful characters in the orchid world. While I know CITE's and the fish & wildlife service have their faults, I thought a journalist would have given a more balanced view, but all in all an informative and entertaining read

Bought this book for the title, stayed with it for the quality of writing.
9 stories of various lengths nothing ties them together but the author’s participation.
Solid quality writing of the human race in various locations in the world.

Fascinating reading about the concepts for each of the tours and for challenges during each. Sprinkled with comments from fellow musicians and leaning heavily on Neil Peart's tour diary, it's an incredibly comprehensive look at one of the ultimate road bands.
