More about the book

Jon Jesse Beckenham's life took him along a most unexpected musical journey which ended up with him composing many songs and writing musical adventure stories. And none of this would have occurred had not Jasper Carrott, a well-known English comedian, helped him along his way. He sent him to a restaurant where they gave him a job as a singer and with it he was able to get through his M.Sc course in "Computer Science". He was also able to save enough money to travel to Germany, which ended up with the remarkable musical events which this book describes. Really, it is hard to believe that a man with three university degrees, including two M.Scs, could have ended up becoming a singer and a songwriter and then, to crown it all, a street musician. But that's how it turned out to be. This book tells you how it all began.
