"Peter Madcat Ruth has been an inspiration, collaborator, master performer, and traveling troubadour extraordinaire since I met him in 1968. His hitchhiking adventures are the stuff of legends in our circle of musician friends. I am glad the explorations of his magical thumb are finally written down so his wild, true stories can be enjoyed by the rest of the world! “

"While some folks spend their lives focused on the destination, others seek adventure in getting there. Peter Madcat Ruth is the epitome of the latter. Hitchhiking Twenty Five Thousand Miles is the story of how he, as a young musician, sought and chronicled that adventure. At a time when Americans live in fear of one another, Madcat’s story shows how he, and we, can rely on one another. Do yourself a favor and join Madcat on his epic journey."
