The Adventures and Misadventures of Eric

This collection of essays from Eric Kallins takes the reader on a pleasurable ride down memory lane, as easygoing as an impromptu Sunday drive. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Eric Kallins was part of the wave of the county's young people migrating to coastal cities during the heyday of the 1960s. First landing in Santa Cruz, Kallins rubbed elbows with an infamous cult leader. He then went south to Los Angeles where he worked in the music industry playing with friends who would become industry giants. Traveling north, Kallins moved to Petaluma where he self-produced an album of original music, before landing in the "Hidden City," where he currently resides. You can find him performing stand up and playing music in distinguished San Francisco Bay Area clubs. This satisfying collection of succinct vignettes from Eric Kallins feels at once familiar and surprising, like speaking with a very dear old friend after a long absence.
