Glenn may also be joined by a special guest who shared his 1970s rock tour experiences and has their own stories to share. And there may be MUSIC too!


If YOU have 1970s rock tour stories from your own music biz experiences (or more recent stories), please join Glenn to share them -- this will be a fun and unique way to celebrate the best era of Rock music at the best vinyl store in the Valley!

According to Glenn: “The rock and roll road is paved with myths and stories. Some of them are mine. In the 1970s I toured with 40 top-grossing rock bands, like Led Zeppelin Chicago, the Eagles, Elton John, Elvis, Linda Ronstadt, and the Rolling Stones, to name just a few. But I was not a musician, a sound engineer, or a roadie; I was the truck driver -- if I didn't get the sound gear to each gig on time, the shows could not go on.


“Between 1971 and 1976. I drove a half million miles between city arenas, county stadiums, and state fairs, and never missed a load-in. Fifty years later, I'm an author and a storyteller. My book shares rock and roll stories inspired by my personal observations and experiences. If you were there, or wish you had been, get a copy and ‘ride shotgun’ with me. 


“My new fictionalized autobiography is your backstage pass to what they don't show in music business movies or tell you in rock star biographies. I've condensed and combined some events for brevity and changed some names for privacy. But much of it is mostly true…”
