It's All Over But The Shouting!

This is the long expected sequel to "These Girls Can Play".
Unlike the original, it has no adult content. I didn't want that distraction in telling this story. The love is still here, but there are other issues to talk about.

This is the "Girls" and their children twenty years down the road. The "Girls" and Bob tell their story of the band, the road, and some of the things that changed their lives forever. Unlike the original book, this book is more detailed in the music world and the recording of music for public consumption. Most people don't have any idea of what goes on behind the scenes when a band works on recording a new CD. This gives you a picture of that process.

A retrospective in both daydreams and conversations with their children, it explains the legacy the kids have to live up to, now that they are a touring band. It starts with the kid's first show. It continues in the dressing room and beyond, right on through to the trials and tribulations they have all gone through over the years. Bob saved the "Girls" from a lot of grief and it is their intention to save their children the same way.

From discussing their origin and their touring, they delve into some of their discoveries, and the changes those discoveries made in their lives. Now that the kids are touring, it is a whole new era and they need to understand the road they have just embarked upon.

Their international tour is detailed, as they go from country to country, describing the historic venues they play. Along with the international tour, they describe their cancelled stop in Chicago, and how it was salvaged to their benefit, and the epic returns to Chicago later in their careers. Even playing the White House, the "Girls" have seen it all, and with Bob's help, avoided most of the pitfalls that can befall a group of traveling minstrels. Now it's time to share some of that wisdom with their children.

The politics of music and international relations ... it's all here while the "Girls" traverse their continuous 6 years on the road and beyond, all the way to their epic final show in San Francisco.

Their lives coming full circle, it ends as it begins.
