The Two Dollar Radio Movement - Books too loud to ignore.

	After drifting out of his current band, Ivor must face that window cleaning is no longer his day job - it's his only job; he's not going to be a rock star after all. This, despite having played in such ground-breaking punk bands as S.O.A. with Henry Rollins, Faith, and Embrace with Ian Mackaye. Between stints washing the windows of celebrities, using the service entrance to famous New York City landmark buildings, and attending a change-your-career serminar that his father, a retired admiral, strongly urges him to sign up for, Ivor reflects on where he has been, what he is doing, and where he wants to go. Life on the Ledge is a tale of risk, punk music, voyeurism, identity - and clean windows.		Ivor Hanson is a freelance writer and window cleaner who has written for The New York Times, The Big Takeover, Time Out New York, and other publications. A graduate of Vassar College and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Ivor lives in New York City with his wife and daughter. When not working as a stay-at-home dad, he cleans windows around town.
	"Hanson is effortlessly sharp, insightful, and funny." -Publishers Weekly "Fascinating." -New York Magazine "Hanson is a good storyteller and he has good stories to tell." -Manhattan Users Guide "Hanson's dreams of mainstream rock success might have never left the ground, but, from over 100 feet above the city's streets, he's acquired an understanding of something no less lofty and far more fascinating." -Washington City Paper		"Honest, funny, heartfelt, and, most of all, delightfully voyeuristic." -Stefan Fatsis "Ivor Hanson is a born storyteller and Life on the Ledge is a wonderful debut. Funny, engaging, and wise." -Michael Shapiro "If Ivor Hanson had merely been one of the key pioneers in the D.C. punk scene of the eighties, that would have been enough to cement his legacy as a true innovator. But who knew that he was also a writer of no small skill and talent? In this memoir, Hanson tackles the questions of how one discovers worth and meaning in one's life with all the dexterity of a master drummer, and all the balance he learned living life on the ledge." -Brian Cogan
