It’s a well-told narrative of a young man’s discovery of this huge country

But,it’s also viewed from the perspective of a struggling band, slowly “making it” and all the wacky adventures a musical band can encounter, or get mixed up in.

Along with a new book comes a lively new CD, called “ A Week in the Warehouse” which is a huge recording studio.
