Awake in the Dream

£15.00

“What on earth was I ever afraid of?”

That question echoed from pure bliss during a life-changing morning in Sausalito, 1970, when Louis experienced his most terrifying and ultimately liberating awakening. 

Bassist Louis Cennamo’s memoir chronicles an extraordinary musical journey through the explosive British music scene of the 1960s and ‘70s. Starting at sixteen with The Dimensions alongside a young Rod Stewart, Louis went on to record with James Taylor at Apple Records, tour with Chuck Berry and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and become a founding member of progressive rock pioneers Renaissance. He also toured and recorded with jazz-rock legends Colosseum. From intimate sessions with The Beatles to massive festivals sharing stages with Santana and Fleetwood Mac, this is a front-row seat to rock’s golden age.

Yet what makes this memoir unique is how Louis discovered that life itself was his greatest teacher. Through encounters with legendary musicians and transcendent masters alike, he learned that the force behind music is the same mysterious life force that connects us all. 

Written with the warmth and wisdom of someone who’s witnessed rock history unfold, this spiritual diary reveals how a life in music can become a pathway to unlocking the treasure store of miracles buried deeply within us.

A unique memoir for fellow travellers on the eternal road—those ready to explore what becomes possible when we awaken within the dream.
