On Monday December 15th, I'll be joining my fellow book-writers DAVE MURRAY and PAUL CANAVAN for an in-person author event at Northern Onondaga Public Library's North Syracuse branch. The event sprawls from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, and advance registration is required. Paul will talk about his book My Story So Far, Dave will speak on behalf of his novel A Breath Of Fresh Air (A Transplant Tale), and I'll close the show with my rendition of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"...wait, that ain't right. I'll probably mention my books Gabba Gabba Hey! A Conversation With The Ramones and The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1), and we'll all be available to answer questions and, y'know, kibbitz.
This particular gig means a lot to me, because I grew up in North Syracuse...HOMECOMING! You can register here, and I hope to see you there.
Author Event - Carl Cafarelli, Dave Murray, and Paul Canavan In-Person
North Syracuse is proud to welcome local authors Carl Cafarelli, Dave Murray, and Paul Canavan to speak about their written works, answer questions from the audience, and sign books!
Dave Murray, who was born and bred here in the snow capital of the Northeast, had a double-lung transplant 20 years ago which motivated him to write A Breath of Fresh Air (A Transplant Tale). He hopes this book will appeal to past and future transplant patients, people with cystic fibrosis, or anyone who appreciates a story about facing and overcoming obstacles.
Carl Cafarelli is the co-host of the weekly radio show This is Rock 'n' Roll Radio, and is the author of Gabba Gabba Hey! A Conversation with the Ramones (2023) and The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1) (2024). His 1994 interviews with the Ramones were cited as essential reading by The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In his memoir reflecting on his life's "story so far," Paul Canavan has compiled stories about his family, including about his relationship with his 8 brothers and sisters and their parents. He hopes this memoir serves as a testament of his family's bond and an inspiring reminder to others that we all matter to someone, and we need to be heard. It's all about a story worth telling.
