Flip

Flip is an "of age" teenager faced with abusive parents, a Catholic Military prep school and all of the events of the early 1960s from the Bay of Pigs to the first Kennedy assassination and 'Atomic Annie', the first atomic cannon. Having lost his virginity at the age of 12, Flip is passed from "Betty" to "Betty", band followers with conveniently incarcerated husbands. His musical talents let him play with Stan Kenton, Count Basie and some of the great traveling road bands of the '60s, to the dismay of members of the local musician's union. His love of Shakespeare results in unexpected income, and his future education may depend on Pope John's Ecumenical Council, the hangover of a Catholic priest who just wants to get married and a fledgling Physics teacher who never quite learned to swim.

About the Author

JB has lived a boring life of conformity to the mores of society. To relieve boredom in his reclining years, he is methodically transcribing bits of personal history on the sins of his mis-spent youth, thinly disguised as fiction. So if you feel your name has been taken in vain (most names have been changed or abbreviated to protect the guilty) please don't email him. If he has stolen a joke from you, live with it.

If you hate JB as an author, please select the prior incarnations that you prefer: musician, janitor, radiation lab assistant, neurosurgeon (dogs only), car dealership gopher, chauffeur, technology consultant,/guru, web master, casino host, information technology manager, programmer, database specialist, photographer, technical writer.. Oh yeah, amateur golfer, landscaper and tractor repair mechanic.
