Welcome to the first episode! The series begins, like the book does, with some of the youngest musicians and most popular bands in the early- to mid-sixties.

After working for some three years just with transcript print-outs from my interviews, it’s been a real joy for me to actually hear these guys again (and later some girls too).

In this and future episodes, I’ll include direct quotes from the book along with some “outtakes” and commentary that complement the book’s stories.

Special thanks for their contributions: To Ron Paley and Bev Masters for providing tunes by the Eternals, the Crescendos, and the Fifth. And to Gord Osland and Steve Hegyi for permission to use adopt their tune, Wanna Go Rockin, for the series theme. (You can check out more of their music at giantsheadmusic.com.)
