Description

Keynote: In a literary modern odyssey, an intimate memoir recalls the first three of six years in the life of a young singer and his midwestern friends as they strive for fame and fortune in a coming-of-age rock music- and romance-filled journey in 1960-era California and Las Vegas. Description: The most important things in Larry's life in 1965 Indianapolis are his suddenly troubled marriage to his high school sweetheart and their two little boys, and his scattered-to-the-winds, singing group. When he is miraculously reunited with his vocalist friends in San Francisco, they barely survive their own clumsy transformation into a working nightclub band. He hasn't realized yet, that as the band improves, singing with his rock and roll band is plunging him headfirst into an incredible adventure that will take them into famous mob-run West Coast nightclubs, Las Vegas showrooms and backrooms, and Hollywood recording studios-or the sacrifice it will require. It's the 1960s: an era of great cultural, sexual, and musical change-and the draft. Larry's band finds itself scrambling to overcome, or at least live through, every obstacle in their path as they achieve hard-won successes. But in their rise, Larry discovers that everything he assumed he knew about life is being challenged, and he must adapt to a new life, and a new companion and lover, as he weaves his way through the things he finds, and loses, in the tumultuous nights. Audience: Those who love memoir, narrative nonfiction, historical new adult, and history, specifically the 1960s; San Francisco, Las Vegas, and LA; popular American music, the music industry, romantic encounters, vocal groups, R&B, cover bands, the Four Seasons, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and the Lettermen; nightlife, the sexual revolution, and counterculture.
