"Cleveland Rock and Roll Memories"

Wednesday December 13, 2006
What do Alan Freed, Devo, and Eric Carmen have in common? They all contributed to Cleveland's diverse Rock and Roll music culture. Learn more about them and other Cleveland musicians, DJs, promoters, and fans in Carlo Wolff's interesting new book, Cleveland Rock and Roll Memories.

The 129-page book, published by Gray and Co., sports lots of historic photos and fun facts as is chronicles Cleveland's music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Read about "Kid Leo" and the heydey of WMMS, about Bruce Springsteen's journey from an unknown to "the Boss" on Cleveland's stages, and intrepid Rock reporter Jane Scott.

Divided into chapters about radio, local legends, clubs, music stores, and more, Cleveland Rock and Roll Legends is a must-have for any Cleveland music fan.
