A Rocker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a journey through time and space. The time, 1957 onwards - the space, the planet Earth. The journey is a supersonic trip of Music that transverses styles and places through which Dave Taylor travels with his Piano, along the Milky Way. To hear the Music is to catch a flying star and slide down the rainbow to the pot of gold – it is all within your grasp if you only follow your instincts. The Music is ageless, timeless, spaceless. Feel the golden glow of harmony spiralling through the ages. Take a rocket to the moon or join a band of rockin’ rollin’ spacemen from Mars. The Music knows no form, no rules, no boundaries. The universe will not wait any longer. Your imagination is eager to be your chauffeur, your Cadillac is on the runway to the speed of sound, and beyond… Blast-off!
