NOTES

Unsung drum pioneer John Becker left an indelible mark on the landscapes of rock music and horror cinema before quietly quitting the business by 1970. Becker Comes Alive: A Rock 'n' Roll Pioneer's True Tale of Music, Murder, and Monsters tells the story of The Del-Aires, a rising surf rock band broken by Beatlemania, the British Invasion, and the changing musical trends of the late 1960s.Retreating to a quiet but troubled life, the music never stops flowing in Becker's veins, and decades later, an unexpected romance brings John back to live performance.A unique blend of rock diary and "Tuesdays with Morrie"-style personal memoir, Becker Comes Alive: A Rock 'n' Roll Pioneer's True Tale of Music, Murder, and Monsters is a touching tale of music, loss, and the importance of friendship across the generations
