coming to a bookstore near you in September.  well, if I get it done and 
turned in by May 12th.  Florida turned out to be more interesting musically 
than I thought particularly with all the connections between Petty (fellow 
Mudcrutch then Heartbreaker high school buddies), the Allmans, Ronnie Van 
Zant, the Eagles, Stephen Stills and on and on.  Sadly, the Gainesville music 
scene is more ska today than anything else.
