Heavy melodically
This guy with the guitar is playing for his life... for his life.
How many times have you said about a concert that it was a truly magical experience? It is no wonder, therefore, that on Earth, where magic does exist, the power of music can overcome even death. Well, Zuzanka helped her a bit by filling in for her grandfather, Death, who had taken an, er, unscheduled leave of absence. And so it happened, that a young bard from Burano got his hands on a mysterious guitar, through which Music with Stones - Wild Music penetrated the terrestrial world, intoxicating and changing people's lives, dwarves, of trolls and mages. But rock'n'roll, the history of which the author brings to life between the lines in a highly imaginative way, can be addictive and dangerous, just like alcohol in large quantities. And so Zuzanka faces a difficult task - to put the world back in order without taking the life of the young man whose heart now beats to the rhythm of that magical music. And while we're at it, where the hell does the real Death roam? The audiobook is part of the Death series in the AMAZING EARTH series.
They wrote about the book
"It's as if Big Terry is taking a very kindly, indulgent look at the whole world of music that was popular in his youth, and by creating new and new gags (...) he is both holding up a true mirror to it - and remembering it with nostalgia."
Intercom, 5/1998
"None of Pratchett's Earthsea books are dull, and some are masterful humorous achievements. This entertaining and at times blisteringly funny episode is recommended for anyone with the slightest sense of humour."

The mockingbird purred contentedly. "Well, I must say that we here in Ankh-Morpork know what goes into a good beer," he said. The mages nodded. They knew it too. That's why they drank gin and tonics.
