"Around here, in Indiana, I'm known as Dr. John or just "Doc." In my college days in Iowa, I was known as Captain Wa Wah. Through these stories, I've reframed some of my memories; the music of the 60s, playing keyboards in an almost-made-it band, recording at the Old Chess Studios and Universal Studios in Chicago, opening for Sonny and Cher, the Beach Boys, and the Doors...Vietnam, the Chicago 7 trial, the Civil Rights Movement, Watergate, Patty Hearst and the SLA, the Maharishi, the Nuclear Freeze Movement, Women's Liberation, Orville K. Snav, and, finally, Doc's Music Hall with listings of all the musicians who have performed there since 1992...plus a slew of cool friends and acquaintances along the way." (from author's website) ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 224 pages .
