"Start With A Dream" Author Joey Cassata

Growing up in the '80s into the early '90s the pace of life was much slower than it is now. Information had to be gathered much differently and the anticipation would build when an event came closer to happening, with each passing day. For us music fans, rock music was a huge part of our existence growing up. We walked or rode our bikes to record stores with our friends. Music was the bond we had, and there was no greater moment than the excitement of a new album being released. The book "Start With A Dream" captures the youthful experiences of discovering music, mischief, and friendship during this time like no other book. Author and drummer of the band ZO2 returns to The Hook Rocks to discuss and celebrate his autobiography once again. It is a must read for all rock music fans who grew up during this time.
