Riassunto

In the late sixties I left the band I was singing with, The Soft White Underbelly (the origin band of the Blue Oyster Cult) and went off to see the world. The tale of the band and those travels are told in the Lucky Monkey stories, beginning with A lucky monkey and the Soft White Underbelly and then A Lucky Monkey Wanders America and Europe and then this one A Lucky Monkey on the Hashish Trail, which takes us from Istanbul to Ceylon. An excerpt from this volume can be accessed online on the Travel Channel's website World Hum by googling An American Fool in the Khyber Pass.

“That was a most wonderfully exciting read, like a vignette out of another dimension. Can't wait for the full escapades to unfold in the book.” —Bolle Gregmar - Archivist of the Blue Oyster Cult.

L'autore:

In 1967, after receiving a BA from Hobart College, Les had a children's song (Big Blue Frog) recorded by Peter Paul and Mary, which was then also recorded by the Muppets and Zoom (on Public TV) and then by Disney on two separate albums. His dream was to travel the world and royalties from these enabled him to travel at will. He went out to Stoney Brook where he met the Soft White Underbelly (now the Blue Oyster Cult) and became their singer. After two years they were signed with Elektra Records, the Door's label and were recording an album when they split up. The band became the Blue Oyster Cult and Les went off around the world. In the intervening years he has sung with the Test Tube Babies and the Air Company and as the Les Vegas Band. He was for several years the music director of the Rosendale Street Festival and wrote the rock musical SPACE which was performed at the New York International Fringe Festival.
