    Light read recommendation

    I'm having a blast while reading this:





    Very light and very good reading. I wonder if this is a real autobio or if he's just a novel.

    This review on Goodreads suggests that Bobby D. is a real person.

    There's a fellow named Bobby DeVito billing himself as a musician (among other things) on Twitter, MySpace and even some YouTube tracks. My sense is that he never hit the big time, and somehow the name Stargarden is associated with him. He may or may not be living in Florida, looking for gigs...

    Yeap, saw that one too, but this fellow looks a tad too young to have been an adult guitar player in the 80s

    Having checked out the twitter link you just sent me, it seems that it's actually the man himself.

    Good to know!
