Book Description
"Exotic venues, sold-out concerts, and the companionship of the world's most powerful people have given Liona Boyd a lifestyle few will ever experience.
The internationally acclaimed classical guitarist has crossed numerous boundries, both musically and romantically. Whether working with such classical greats as Alexandre Lagoya or with such folk legends as Gordon Lightfoot she has always made music - and lived her life - in her own key.
In this colorful memoir she serves up a rich and fascinating mix: childhood with her progressive parents in England, Canada and Mexico; intense and exacting music studies in Toronto and Europe; down-and-out years in London and Paris; drug experimentation in a Mexican artists colony; and whirlwind trips around the globe to eminent concert stages.
And who can forget her friendship with Canada's prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau? Here, for the first time, Liona tells the full story behind that relationship.
It all makes for a rousing, fiesty, passionate tale, as compelling and entrancing as the music of her Ramirez guitar." Don Bastian, Stoddart Publishing

Fantastic Book to read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: In my own key: My life in love and music (Hardcover)
This book is a wonderful account of one of the most talented musicians alive! I have been a huge fan of Liona's music for many years and this book gives an in depth look into what this Classical Guitarist is really all about. She has been through so much growing up and it is great to know that she has met her dreams and continues to flourish in her field. I hope Liona will continue to write books, as this is more proof of what a talented lady she really is. The writing is as imaginative and inspiring as her music. Even if you're not a fan of her music or do not know her music, that should not keep you from reading this book. I can't wait for more!
