Review by: Katie O'Sullivan on April 28, 2012 :
Nancy Walker writes about music and comedy with a breezy tone that is both fun and easy to read. Her simple exercises made it easy to follow along and get the hang of writing my own simple - and funny - songs. A great book for any age, and applicable for many situations!
