THE STORY OF A TEENAGER, AN OVAL OFFICE, AND A RINGSIDE SEAT TO WATERGATE. 

At the age of 17, Don Stinson accidentally landed a job at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue during the worst political scandal in American history. Within 18 months of cashing his first paycheck, Watergate ripened into a national nightmare, the President and the Vice President of the United States resigned, and a little-known Michigan Congressman became the nation’s first unelected Chief Executive. It was a tragedy, a political and constitutional crisis of epic proportions, and a circus. A truly insignificant member of the White House staff, he frequently loitered outside of the Oval Office to watch it unfold.

Singer/Songwriter/ Guitarist Ricky Byrd was a member of Joan Jett and The Blackhearts 81 - 92. Toured and recorded with Roger Daltrey, Ian Hunter, Southside Johhny and The Asbury Jukes. Released 1st solo CD Lifer (on Kayos Records) Feb 2013 

CD was #10 Coolest Album in the World 2013 and "Things to Learn" from Lifer was first Coolest Song in the World 2014 on Little Steven's Underground
