Becker Comes Alive: A Rock 'n' Roll Pioneer's True Tale of Music, Murder, and Monsters - E-book - ePub

Unsung drum pioneer John Becker left an indelible mark on the landscapes of rock music and horror cinema before quietly quitting the business by 1970. Becker Comes Alive: A Rock 'n' Roll Pioneer's True Tale of Music, Murder, and Monsters tells the story of The Del-Aires, a rising surf rock band broken by Beatlemania, the British Invasion, and the changing musical trends of the late 1960s. Retreating to a quiet but troubled life, the music never stops flowing in Becker's veins, and decades later, an unexpected romance brings John back to live performance.
A unique blend of rock diary and "Tuesdays with Morrie"-style personal memoir, Becker Comes Alive: A Rock 'n' Roll Pioneer's True Tale of Music, Murder, and Monsters is a touching tale of music, loss, and the importance of friendship across the generations.
