In the early 70's I attended the University of Michigan and then lived in Ann Arbor for another 15 years after graduation. I knew Ernie and his wife Tory as well as Rick Burgess and most of the cast and crew mentioned in this book. The Del Rio was my hang out until I started bar tending at The Earl across the street. This book brought to the surface many memories, some fine, some not so fine, but all part of my history. I enjoyed the book for that.
If you were not a part of the bar and the era, I think this book would still appeal to you as a history of a very epic time in America.
