R.E.M.: Behind the Mask

A big city boy with a university education, Jim Greer was haunted by the kind of dreams that afflict people like Thurber's Walter Mitty: dreams of running away from respectable careers to live intensely, on the edge, by the sweat of your brow and the skin of your teeth. At age forty, Jim Greer fled the conventional middle-class life in Denver he believed was killing him to operate a guide and outfitting service on Colorado's Western Slope. {Riding West{ is the story of his adventures. 
Some of Jim's stories of outfitting--the business of taking men and women into the wilds and supplying them with the necessities of life--are grim, others hilarious. He tells how he reinvented himself as "Doc" Greer, a cross between Holywood's rhinestone image of a cowboy and the real thing; how he struggled with the dangers posed in the high country; how he fought for his authority, and sometimes his life, with headstrong horses and mules; how apparently trivial mistakes he made while hunting bears nearlly got him killed. And how the winter comes--when clients go home and snow closes the roads--the bone-weary, dead-broke, and out-of-work outfitter retreats to town to live by his wits and dream of spring and another year in the high country. 
A unique and engaging look at the life of a contemporary outfitter, {Riding West} should appeal to those interested in fishing, big-game hunting, the American West, or to city slickers who want a taste of life in the great outdoors.
Jim Greer is a graduate of the University of Denver, a former teacher, state official, and college administrator, whose heart is still in the great outdoors. 
Charles Miller is a professor emeritus at Western State College, where he taught English, journalism, and film studies for thirty years. 
Scott Yeager (illustrator) is a Gunnison wildlife artist and sometime guide whose work is displayed in various Western Slope galleries.

Record producer and songwriter Jim Greer faced one of life's most difficult challenges - his infant son was diagnosed with a deadly cancer at only 18 months old. Jim &amp; his family fought with their son Teddy for 2 1/2 years only to lose him in December 2012 at the age of 3 1/2. While enduring this challenge Jim reflected on many aspects of his life - stories, dreams, writings and poems that seemed to somehow connect into a seamless web of his own making, and allowing him to find hope for his and his families' future even in the darkest hours. This book is a dual timeline of sorts, relating the challenges faced by such an awful cancer and Jim's telling of numerous stories from his life as a musician and artist. Philosophy, religion, life, death and the struggle to maintain sanity are all part of the dialogue contained in this insightful work of non-fiction.
