PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Ben Mason is an entrepreneur who founded a moving company after his record deal and rock band touring days ended. He's the father of two adult sons, and lives in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, on sacred land that was the site of a 3,000 year old Native American village. He's an artist and a songwriter who won the grand prize in the Mid -Atlantic Song Contest and took third place in American Songwriter Magazine's January/February 2023 lyric contest. His music has appeared on national television, in films and internationally released documentaries. Sex, Trucks and Rock 'n Roll: A Spiritual Journey is a memoir that took a lifetime to complete.
"""In this wild ride of a memoir, Mason tours readers through 50 barnburning years of a life spent making music, running a business, and learning things the hard way. With power and emotion, Mason covers playing music since age 13, when ""the applause was an embrace I had never felt before, sincere and warm in ways that made me shiver,"" to the dissolution of his band, leaving him broke but not broken, and on to wild romps, moments of pain and beauty, and at long last finding the inner peace he had previously only seen hints of. Frank and funny, Mason shares accounts of the rock & roll life's dark lows and spotlit highs, with welcome insight about bands (""those freewheeling poly-marriages that were sustained by our constant attempts to give birth to our dreams of fame""), music, and life itself."" -BookLife Review ""This is a very honest book and Mason doesn't hide or try to justify events that put him in a bad light. The last couple of chapters where he describes his home, thoughts and feelings are quite amazing, reminding me very much of James Lee Burke's superb prose on similar subjects, and let's not forget that Burke is one of the world's best known authors. ""I get the feeling that Ben Mason's Journey isn't quite over, hopefully if this book is a success the right person will read it and it will be."" -Dave Blendell, NetGalley Review ""A zany romp through the 70s and 80s in the company of some outlandish characters, sort of like the Three Stooges on acid. Simultaneously psychedelic and hilarious; convincing testimony to the fact that you don't have to be an outrageous rock star to live like one."" -Steuart Smith, guitarist with The Eagles ""A truly remarkable life story, told by the man who lived it. If Ben had not been born a man he surely would've been born a Country Song! A great read!"" -Richard Leigh, ASCAP songwriter of the century ""Ben Mason has a gift for writing a technicolor world that comes alive. From the screaming guitars and thrumming bass on stage to the ancient hush resting over a green Virginia field, his words are entirely hypnotic. This is one of the best memoirs I've read."" -Beth Harbison, New York Times bestselling author ""Sex, Trucks and Rock n Roll . . . A Spiritual Journey covers a lot of territory and I'm glad to be part of it. Watching the author grow from rock star to spiritualist is quite an adventure."" -Jeff Severson, CBS recording artist and producer"
