“This terrific, well-written, and highly original book gives the reader, all at once, tales of the early days of rock and roll; the Midwest Mafia; and the ups and downs of immigration. It has something for everyone in abundance.”

“This book crackles from the first page. Vaiana and Abbajay imbed a great mob story within a riveting narrative that chronicles the duty of family, the emerging rock and roll music revolution, and ethnic assimilation in Midwestern America in the mid 20th Century. Take the ride with their vivid wordsmanship and you won’t be disappointed.”
Scott M. Burnstein, acclaimed mob writer and bestselling true-crime author
