It’s called The Lewy Chronicles: One man’s battle for his brain and his sanity.

It is a compilation of my blog postings as found in myvinylcountdown.com. The MVC website has nearly half-a-million pageviews. And that doesn’t include some of the pageviews when MVC shared columns or posts with AL.com.

So, if you’ve been an avid reader of my blog these past few years, many of the postings may be familiar. (Funny thing, though, I don’t remember some of these and I wrote them!)

It’s an unusual book, in that it contains essays, poems, random thoughts and recollection of some very scary times.

But, it’s been fun going back and listening to the music and remembering how a specific song or album can bring you back to the past. I made the vow to review in print all of my 678 vinyl records. I started in 2016 with two King Sun Ade discs and and finished with ZZ Top. Obviously, I was working the alphabetical method and using the albums as vehicles to to tell my story (I had 3 Cars albums by the way speaking of vehicles.) This book focuses more on the essays and other content and less on the album reviews, although there are a number of album reviews in here.

The book may not be the most memorable (oh stop it)!) book you read all year, but it is short. At least compared to War and Peace. So go to Amazon right now and order your copy.
