Country Music’s Most Embarrassing Moments Book by James Dickerson

Katia de Peyer $ 15.29
Description Like the rest of us, country music stars frequently experience mortifying, humiliating moments they would just as soon forget. Unlike the rest of us, however, when something embarrassing happens to an entertainer, it usually occurs in the bright glare of spotlights. Now, in Country Music’s Most Embarrassing Moments, music journalist James Dickerson shares inside stories of some of those moments for twenty-four country entertainers, including legendary stars Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Shania Twain, Chet Atkins, Janie Fricke, Terri Clark, Marty Stuart, and T. G. Sheppard. These painfully true stories from country music’s elite are about moments that, for the first time, they have decided to share with their friends. Included are stories of forgetting the words to the national anthem, pants splitting open during concerts, being signalled by fans that one’s fly is unzipped, tripping over electrical cords and destroying an entire percussion section and being arrested on stage as a prank set up by the band. Country music fans will enjoy this inside look at one of the occupational hazards of being an entertainer. Includes photographs and biographies of 25 country music stars. Chet Atkins, Garth Brooks, T. Graham Brown, Kenny Chesney, Mark Chesnutt, Terri Clark, Confederate Railroad, Bobbie Cryner, Lacy J. Dalton, Holly Dunn, Janie Fricke, Vince Gill, Eddy Raven, Ronna Reeves, Riders In The Sky, Johnny Rodriguez, T.G.

About the Author

About the Author

Katia de Peyer’s first book Dancing with MySelf, Sensuous Exercises for Body, Mind and Spirit (Nucleus Publications, 1991; La Source Press, 2026) introduced her method of inner-centering through movement, hailed by Diane von Furstenberg as a whole new attitude about exercising. Her second book Enjoy Your Healing Power (La Source Press, 2025) is an intuitive, helpful guide for developing our healing power.  A ballet dancer born in Paris who lived in Spain to further her studies in flamenco, Katia moved to New York in the late sixties to start a successful career as a personal trainer. There she met the virtuoso clarinettist Gervase de Peyer in 1976.  She and Gervase married in 1980 and lived for two decades in the US and then in the UK until Gervase’s death in 2017.  Katia continues her work as a writer and healer in London and New York.
