Memoirs of one man's musical journey as a working club musician throughout six decades, chronicling my beginnings in Greenwich Village, winding through the heyday of the Jersey Shore to the wide open expanses of the Midwest, to the golden shores of southern California, recalling all the trials and tribulations as a full time working musician while meeting the challenges of playing in all the musical trenches, wearing every hat in the business to successfully garner employment, maintaining the dream of turning an innocent hobby into a lifelong career.
