What happens when a young man from a middle class family is introduced to the world of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll?
If you came of age in the 70's then you may well have lived a similar childhood.
If you didn't then consider this an archeological remnant from the past.
Where do love and sex collide? When do the drugs stop mattering quite as much? And Rock 'n' Roll. When should that cease to matter?
Follow the exploits of Stephen, a young man coming of age in a small bedroom community for a large North American city.
Then... imagine if you had access to most everything your teenage lust might desire...

"Not Only Am I With The Band" A truly thought provoking book for anyone who came of age in the 1970's. It brought back many memories of people & events in my own life, that I hadn't thought about for many years. A worth while read.
"5 Star Rating" What a fantastic read! A real page turner. I couldn't help remembering all the special times way back when while reading this book! Thank you, Mr. Greenaway, for one of the best 24 hours I have had between the pages of a book! Hope there is a sequel!!!!!
"Not only a great writer..." This is one of those rare books that can take the reader through memory lane at the same time as treating them to wonderful new experiences. The story is excellent; very well written, with a good mix of the narrative and dialogue between some very good characters, whilst managing to sound both informal and intelligent. Stephen writes so naturally and fluently; he easily changes mood and pace, his humour shines through and lightens the darker moments, but not in a way that is detrimental to the poignant moment. Very well done indeed.
Reading this book brought back fond memories of my own teenage years. The days when the freedom of having too much time on your hands was a way of life, and all the trouble that can lead to. The story of a life centered on a love of music, with all the friendships and life lessons one learns along the way.
"Not only am I with the band" What a great read. I thoughly enjoyed the entire book, and found myself recalling some of my earlier years and experiences. Great job, can't wait for the next book.
