I started writing about balancing my fatherhood with my rock dreams, trying to figure out how it worked out. The story wandered backwards through my own childhood, and went to all sorts of places I hadn't thought it would. I couldn't have done it without a lot of people helping me along, which kinda turned out to be the point of the book itself. The paperback is for sale in the Yard Sale, along with a free download of tons of music. You can also get the audiobook on a cute little USB, again with tons of accompanying music. And right here, for free, you can listen all you like.
