## Resource

In this episode of Booked On Rock, we step into the vibrant and transformative world of 1968—a time when music, culture, and creativity were colliding like never before. Author Barry Greenfield joins the show to discuss his novel All You Need Is Courage, the story of Adam Bond, a young Canadian songwriter chasing his dreams in the heart of London’s booming music scene. From the halls of Apple Records to working alongside legends like George Harrison, John Paul Jones, and Nicky Hopkins, Adam’s journey captures the excitement—and the uncertainty—of a life in music during one of its most revolutionary eras. We dive into the inspiration behind the book, the cultural backdrop of late-’60s London, and what it really takes to pursue a dream when the stakes are high and the path is anything but certain. It’s a story about ambition, vulnerability, and the courage to keep moving forward—no matter what.
