Book Title Jim Lounsbury & Elvis
   
Welcome to the Jim Lounsbury Book site. You can purchase Jim's unique book about the dawn of Rock 'N Roll from his personal experiences.

Come back often, we will be changing the excerpts from the book.

"...In those first early days a good friend of mine and I even wound up paying kids' bus fares to get them to the show. Dan Lydon had a brother who was a Catholic priest...they would round up some of the Parish teens and send them to the program. I've often wondered if my early shows were somethimes used as pennance by Father Jim Lydon."

-Jim Lounsbury

From "HEY, LOOK - I'M ON TV!"

I just got my copy of your book and it is absolutely terrific. I have fond memories of watching your Chicago show.

Obviously, you put a lot of work into the format... the right amount of text, plenty of pictures and I was really impressed with the autograph section.

You did a great job at getting the "Feel" of what it was really like back in those days! Anyone who was there is going to want your book! It's an important part of music history.

I truly believe it is the best book written about the 50's and 60's that I have read. Jim, you did an excellent job..
