Changes

It's impossible not to admire the talent of Ray Davies, but one would have to be exceedingly thick-skinned and patient to work with him for any length of time. In conclusion, let us not forget however one of his 'more endearing enterprises', his regular tutoring of a five-day workshop in Suffolk where he worked with aspiring songwriters and gave one-to-one tutorials. As a former colleague said approvingly, that was 'the real Ray Davies'. As a lifelong fan, I came to the end of this book having already known much about the man and the group but also having learnt a good deal more. It's a very long read, but an extremely rewarding one.
