No problem sharing some of the stuff left on the cutting room floor. A ton of work when into those interviews too and it was sad to have to drop them. I had to cut out a ton on bizarre and funny stories along the way too because of the space issue. The publisher didn't think this book should be longer than the Bible.
I do have a "Word" version of the book. It has a word count on it, but I can't figure out how to just count the number of words without going one by one in the find section.
I imagine it's a lot. If you know how to do it, let me know, take a guess and I'll let you know if you're right.
A "Part 2" would probably be as interesting as this one. If not now, then someday. Just be sure and save them in several different places, just in case. It was sickening to hear so many stories those guys told about how Roger handed them scraps of paper with newly-written songs on them, but they lost them, either by fire or by ex-wives. Those taped interviews, too. Those are historical documents that should be preserved. But you knew that already. :-)

Hmm... I could have sworn there was a way to do that, but darned if I can figure it out now. Let me ask around and I'll get back with you on that.
