In the late sixties I left the band I was singing with, The Soft White Underbelly (the origin band of the Blue Oyster Cult) and went off to see the world. The tale of the band and those travels are told in the Lucky Monkey stories, beginning with A lucky monkey and the Soft White Underbelly and then A Lucky Monkey Wanders America and Europe and then this one A Lucky Monkey on the Hashish Trail, which takes us from Istanbul to Ceylon. An excerpt from this volume can be accessed online on the Travel Channel's website World Hum by googling An American Fool in the Khyber Pass."That was a most wonderfully exciting read, like a vignette out of another dimension. Can't wait for the full escapades to unfold in the book." -Bolle Gregmar - Archivist of the Blue Oyster Cult.
