New Autobiographical Fiction Release Tells of One Woman’s Quest to Make Music; Dog Ear Publishing Releases Book by Glenna Burmer

Lauren Bergman is a pathologist by day, but she longs to be a rock star. Specifically, she wants to produce a CD of her own original songs. Her quest to make her dream come true introduces her to the wild world of musicians—the insanely expensive and ridiculously user-unfriendly music software, the imperious teachers, the crazy session players, and the intimidating virtuosos. Once she finishes it, she must decide if it's worth the cost to her pocketbook and psyche.

Seattle, WA, August 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Lauren Bergman is a pathologist by day, but she longs to be a rock star. Specifically, she wants to produce a CD of her own original songs. Her quest to make her dream come true introduces her to the wild world of musicians—the insanely expensive and ridiculously user-unfriendly music software, the imperious teachers, the crazy session players, and the intimidating virtuosos. Lauren plunges in head first, determined to make the CD no matter what.

Two and a half years, five instruments, six instructors, and countless moments of frustration later, Lauren makes it happen—she finds herself holding her CD in her hands. Was it worth the cost, both to her pocketbook and her psyche? Her story is both hilarious and inspirational, proving it is never too late to pursue a dream.

Bad Strumming, published by Dog Ear Publishing, is the thinly-veiled story of Glenna Burmer, whose “bucket list” included creating a CD of her own music, and was not about to let the fact that she was “barely musical, unable to play a musical instrument, and [sang] like a demented Siamese cat” get in her way. Burmer is a molecular pathologist with a passion for music and art, and a wicked sense of humor. She lives in Seattle with her family.
