|
Now Mick finds himself impoverished, forced into a retirement home by his estranged son, and completely unable to accept his new circumstances - that is until a sudden brainstorm and a uniquely brilliant idea ignites an excited and single-minded determination to pull his old band members back together after 50 years. Their wildly humorous journey and the great music that they make together enriches their lives and the lives of everyone they touch along the way, from the very old to the very young. This heartwarming and page-turning story will make you laugh and make you cry, but you’ll never look at older people or listen to music the same way again.

I Love, Love, Love this book. It has something for everyone. I laughed and I cried. A wonderful read. I didn't want the story to end! I was literally unable to put it down. Its wonderful message has remained with me and always will. This book has a lot of wonderful elements: Comedy, nostalgia, family dynamics, music, musician communications, the impact of PTSD, giving our elderly the respect that they deserve, and the reminder that it is never too late to bounce up off the canvas - all delivered with great humor and story-telling. Highly recommended Just finished the book. Loved it. Also loved your tributes at the end. Great job. 5 stars: Great book. Easy read. Heartwarming. I loved the book so much that I bought 5 copies to distribute to my family as a Christmas stocking stuffer. I just finished your book. To say it was absolutely wonderful would be an understatement. And, how expertly written it is. The various scenes you described were heartwarming and heart wrenching. I recommend the book for everyone.
