Summary
Follow Ben Boyd as he recounts his outrageous adventures as a teenager and young adult in 1960s and ‘70s America. Traversing a landscape of Indian powwows, desegregation, and the birth of rock ‘n’ roll, Ben’s adventures begin in the plains of Oklahoma, where he is a young Indian dancer, and take him to the shores of the Ozarks and the city of St. Louis, where he becomes a rhythm and blues and rock musician, sharing the stage with luminaries like Ike and Tina Turner and the Allman Brothers.
Ben’s adventures lead him from St. Louis to Las Vegas and then Los Angeles, where the psychedelic rock scene is at its peak and the Hollywood stars are out on the Sunset Strip, where Ben’s band takes up residence. Finally, Ben’s adventures take him to Fairbanks, Alaska, where a boomtown has been created from the construction of the Trans-Alaska pipeline, and the bars with live music are open 24 hours a day, but Ben eventually finds his dream living in a cabin in the wilderness and hunting caribou with a dog team.
