Beatchik Unabridged

Beatchik Unabridged was many years in the making, both the living and the writing of it.  For years, I've told my family and friends (those who weren't there for the highlights) the stories of my adventurous youth.  Finally, after many false starts, I've gotten the stories down on "paper".  The stories are all true (though the names have been altered to protect the not-so-innocent).  I've tried to preserve the authenticity of story telling in the voice of one who has lived it.  Below are excerpts from Beatchik Unabridged. Enjoy!
