Ritchie Henman grew up in Chester Basin, Nova Scotia and became a pop music fan at an early age. Guitar lessons at age eleven were quickly followed by drums and piano. His first public performance at thirteen cemented a desire to play music that eventually led to a career as a professional recording and touring musician. With several hit records from his groups April Wine and Cruiser now enjoying more than fifty years of airplay, Ritchie has written a lively detailed chronicle of his adventures.Along the way, he had a biker gang put out a contract on him at twenty; had his image on every 7-Up can in the country at twenty-two; took one of the world’s foremost guitarists for a short fast drive in an Italian supercar that belonged to a notorious gangster; and turned down an opportunity to record and tour with an聽American superstar. He also toured with Stevie Wonder, the Jackson Five and other legendary performers. This is his true story.
