About this ebook

Unlike so many books that start with a band on tour or reaching fame, this story starts with a young guitarist joining his first rock band; and then it follows him through 'battle of the bands' competitions, high school and college frat parties, to night clubs, and local TV show performances to plug his only record.

While so many books focus on the struggles of rock bands and their drug-related crash and burns; this story captures the heartaches, the humor, the pranks, and the misadventures that a high school rock musician encounters. The book also explains how the main character’s life view is formed and shaped regarding love, sex, drinking, drugs, social class, and the treacherous world of adults.

His primary instruments include electric guitar, slide guitar, and mandolin.Although not considering himself as a composer, Jan has written lyrics for music featured in two motion pictures: “Don’t Tell” (2005 Pier Oppenheimer film) and “And They’re Off” (2011 Scrambled Eggs Productions); composed the Christmas anthem “Bring Back That Christmas”,and created video-musical compositions “9-11 Suite” and the comical “Old Men Stink”. Jan’s viral video commercial “Unemployed Web Browser Blues” was a national finalist in the “2006 Firefox Flix” competition (Jan wrote the screen play, composed and performed the song. co-edited the music and video, acted and co-video recorded the commercial with colleague Jonathon Boyer).Beside his creative life, Jan held down a “day job” for twenty-three years as a technical specialist in the health insurance industry, put two kids through college, and even coached his daughter’s softball team.
