Open Book, Open Mind, Open Mic

"Open Book, Open Mind: Open Mic" is the latest literary work from author/singer/songwriter/entertainer/actor Big Daddy Abel. The author of the Amazon.com Best Selling E-book/digital short story series "Open Mic" is back with this culminating title loaded with many new stories and extras. Life on the road in a band provides many fun times and funny stories for BDA to share with you in this collection of humorous essays. Also included are several short stories in which Big Daddy collaborated with authors Giovanni Gelati and Tommy Jannarone. Time spent on the road and in hotels provides a fertile environment for many hours pondering the world at large. BDA shares his views in a comical, light hearted and, at times, thought provoking manner on everything from politics to cultural relations and proper etiquette while attending live shows to behind the scenes encounters with rock stars and movie stars while on the set of television and movie productions. This book spans from sharing his great (times 9) grandmother's unfortunate experience in Salem during the Witch Trials into the future possibilities of language, encounters and the interconnectedness of everything. Inspired by such great authors as Mark Twain, Douglas Adams and Kurt Vonnegat, as well as, the comedic styles of Lewis Black, Ron White, Jim Gaffigan, Chris Rock, Patton Oswalt and even a touch of Bill Maher, Big Daddy Abel shares his views of the world while wearing his heart on his sleeve and keeping his ?real? heart in the right place. He lays himself emotionally naked for you to read, ponder and absorb. This, is real, at times all "too real." Be prepared to laugh, think and maybe even shed a tear. Guard yourself, as Big Daddy takes you for a ?real? ride into his real mind, real heart and real soul.
