Theodora Richards.
With Barnaby Harris and Bill Shapiro. In a rock-and-rock picture-book memoir, the Rolling Stones' lead raconteur recollects his childhood introduction to the guitar, courtesy of his doting and eccentric grandfather, Gus. Richards has an ear for the music in a sentence, and his daughter shows blooming talent with her pen-and-ink sketches splashed with color. Richards reads his tale on the accompanying CD.
