Author Description

Product Description A politically incorrect romp through the late 1960's, featuring a wildly diverse cast of characters. The book details the misadventures and misbehaviors of a small, eccentric group of friends, headquartered at a unique campus-area bar and grill. The book is set in Columbus, Ohio during the student unrest era at Ohio State. Dozens of adventures deal with sex, beer and folk music, free love and first loves, and a voyage of exploration into the edgier side of campus life. You'll encounter a counterfieter, bungling burglars, drug vendors, moonshiners, winos and the prostitute next door. Musicians, brawlers, bouncers and mustard squirting maniacs are all involved in the non-stop action. Swinish and irreverent behavior, side-splitting humor, and a large helping of the joy of living are all included in the package. You'll have trouble putting this book down! About the Author Bill Dixon was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, near the Ohio State University. He worked his way through two degrees there, and took a fairly amazing assortment of jobs in the process. Along the way, he worked as a bartender, bouncer, cook, artist, folksinger, political speech writer, textbook editor, zoo keeper, pet shop manager and iron worker. He taught school for two years, as he finished his Masters Degree. Oddly enough, he then went into banking, where he became CEO of a financial institution, somehow, without ever having taken a business class. In his spare time, he published magazine articles about home energy efficiency, humor and finance. He left banking at the ripe old age of 39, and opened a successful real estate enterprise, from which he retired at age 52. He published his first book, Guitar Collecting, in 2003, which has sold through three printings. He collects, plays and is an authority on guitars. An accomplished (and listed) artist, he's exhibited his oil paintings in over a hundred one-man and group shows in Ohio, Flor
