Memoir: “Thirty Rooms To Hide In” — Winters at The Millstone, early ’60s

Winters in Minnesota used to be longer, whiter, with deeper snow. If if snowballs could somehow be made in Hell, that’s the kind my five brothers and I created in our back yard — ROCKS of skull-breakingly hard ice. Winter is a big part of “Thirty Rooms To Hide In,” a memoir about growing up in Rochester, Minnesota, in the ’50s and ’60s. This is two minutes of family film. I added the projector sound effect just for fun. THIRTY ROOMS TO HIDE IN: INSANITY, ADDICTION, AND ROCK ‘N’ ROLL IN THE SHADOW OF THE MAYO CLINIC. Available Oct 15th, 2012, in bookstores and at amazon: www.amazon.com BARNES&NOBLE: www.barnesandnoble.com Films, letters, and other stuff at the website at www.thirtyroomstohidein.com
