- My effin' life / by Lee, Geddy,author.; Richler, Daniel,author.;
"The long-awaited memoir, generously illustrated with never-before-seen photos, from the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Rush bassist, and bestselling author of Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass. Geddy Lee is one of rock and roll's most respected bassists. For nearly five decades, his playing and work as co-writer, vocalist and keyboardist has been an essential part of the success story of Canadian progressive rock trio Rush. Here for the first time is his account of life inside and outside the band. Long before Rush accumulated more consecutive gold and platinum records than any rock band after the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, before the seven Grammy nominations or the countless electrifying live performances across the globe, Geddy Lee was Gershon Eliezer Weinrib, after his grandfather murdered in the Holocaust. As he recounts the transformation, Lee looks back on his family, in particular his loving parents and their horrific experiences as teenagers during World War II. He talks candidly about his childhood and the pursuit of music that led him to drop out of high school. He tracks the history of Rush which, after early struggles, exploded into one of the most beloved bands of all time. He shares intimate stories of his lifelong friendships with bandmates Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart--deeply mourning Peart's recent passing--and reveals his obsessions in music and beyond. This rich brew of honesty, humor, and loss makes for a uniquely poignant memoir"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Lee, Geddy.; Rush (Musical group); Bass guitarists; Rock musicians;

- 72 stories : from the baseball collection of Geddy Lee / by Lee, Geddy,author.;
One of the greatest bass players of all time, Geddy Lee is also a self-proclaimed baseball geek who assembled a noted collection of baseballs signed by some of the game's greatest players--selections from which he recently auctioned at Christie's. In 72 Stories: From the Baseball Collection of Geddy Lee, Geddy shares his love of the game and the stories behind some of his favorite baseballs and other items from his vast collection. "Baseball was in my bones long before music started to seriously divert my attention," Geddy writes. He later sang the national anthem at the 1993 All-Star Game in Baltimore, cheers for the Toronto Blue Jays from his seat behind home plate and attends MLB games across Canada and the US. That lifelong love of the game comes through in 72 Stories. Told with the same charming candor that infused both of his memoir, My Effin' Life, and Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass, the stories told here relate to the legends of baseball--Satchel Paige, Joe Dimaggio, Shohei Ohtani among them--and to other famous figures who signed balls, such as the Beatles (during their final concert at Shea Stadium), Neil Armstrong, and John F. Kennedy. A lively personal tour through cultural and sports history, illustrated with more than 180 color photographs, 72 Stories: From the Baseball Collection of Geddy Lee is a delightful and loving tribute to the game.- Subjects: Lee, Geddy.; Baseballs; Baseball; Baseball; Baseball fans;
