Description



About the Book



A laugh-out-loud confessional of a novel about people who may be too old to rock 'n' roll, but who can't imagine stopping, "The Wishbones" is "unalloyed reading pleasure" ("The New York Times Book Review").



Book Synopsis



Everything is going pretty well for Dave Raymond. He's 31, but he still feels young. He's playing guitar with the Wishbones, a New Jersey wedding band, and while it isn't exactly the Big Time, it is music. He has a roof over his head...well, it's his parents' roof, but they don't hassle him much. Life isn't perfect. But it isn't bad. Not bad at all. But then he has to blow it all by proposing to his girlfriend.
