“The Bongo appearance... filled with tales of his days as a rocker (Rand was in the Wackers, an Elektra group that Creem Magazine once called 'the greatest rock 'n' roll band in North America'), as a popster and as a producer.”

“Grammy-nominated songwriter Rand Bishop, writer of the #1 Toby Keith hit, "My List," has given folks a chance to come into the music world with his new book, "Makin' Stuff Up." He layers everything with a sense of humor like a conversation with a friend over a drink."”

“”Makin’ Stuff Up” propels the reader forward like a good road trip and will teach you plenty along the way.”

“Where so many "insider" books tend toward sour grapes and discouraging words, Rand hopes instead to encourage the aspiring writer. ...he regales the reader with humorous stories of bouts with industry heavyweights, including the renowned Clive Davis.”

“It was a pleasure to have you on the program to talk about your musical career and to share some of your history with our audience who remember the great music you accomplished in your days up here in Canada.”
