Two fractured musical souls meet amongst the perverse privilege of an English boarding school. Through rebellion, by forming a Rock band in the uniquely 'classical' musical environment they found themselves in, and by pursuing a life-long search for a lost autonomy, they take a mutual journey through tragedy, despair, hope, and hilarity to an eventual discovery of the consequences of a childhood stripped of the basic human emotional requirements of love, security, and a sense of identity.
"My Reluctant Friend" is a captivating story about music, friendship, and growth — and all that comes with it. This is a story about a life in rock and roll and the immense personal and professional challenges bands faced during their seemingly invincible years. Managers, clashing personalities, women, creative differences, and so much more, factored into whether a band thrived or crumbled. In this compelling book, a band was formed — and it seemed as if one special group found their spiritual home. But no life in music is seamless as the band faces countless incidents of uncertainty and despair. If you are a music lover, have ever been in a band, or just enjoy a truly compelling story, this is the book for you. Get ready to embark on a musical journey and a true reflection of personal growth!
