The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music
Dave Grohl (Author/Narrator)
After reading reviews I knew I wanted to listen to Dave Grohl tell his stories. He does a fantastic job and if he ever had more free time, he could make a career out of narrating. Yes, I know, he's way too busy with his other career.
Decades ago I attended a Gladys Knight and the Pips concert and a ZZ Top concert. I was so out of my element at both due to a problem with noises and crowds. Still I was interested in music and was surprised by how many of the people that Grohl mentions in his book that I was at least a little familiar with. But I didn't really need to know all these people. Grohl is a fantastic storyteller and I enjoyed listening to his voice and his stories. A lot of the stories had me searching for names and events so I could refresh my memory or learn more about people, places, and happenings. This was an enjoyable listen and it even took me down some long forgotten memories of my own.

Excellent review Marilyn 💜 great memories
Good review, Marilyn. I'm a fan of the Foo Fighters because of Grohl. Been putting this book off though, but you make me want to read it.
great review Marilyn, never listened to their music but sounds like a good memoir!

Excellent review Marilyn I sampled the audiobook and I normally don’t listen to them. Dave Grohl is a brilliant musician and I love his voice, so I will definitely be getting the audiobook 📕
Your reviews of audiobooks are really making me want to try one! Amazing Review!

I finally broke through once NetGalley Shelf came out (and even that first book was almost a bust for me). Because I always want to finish my ARCs I trudged on and finally was hooked on audiobooks. But I have a picky ear so I try to pick my narrators carefully.

Ahh, that makes sense, but sounds super cool! I'll have to check Net Galley out!

I loved this audiobook too! His narration is fantastic.
I am so glad you enjoyed this one, I absolutely love it when an author narrates their own book in books like this one! Great review Marilyn! 🧡
Thank you, Melissa, I thought, "he could find work as a narrator" 😂

Glad you enjoyed it Marilyn! I loved this audio, and agree he could be a narrator in an alternate career 😂
