Gigmentia is a reflection on the raw, challenging, and gritty vocation of a blue-collar musician living in the Pacific Northwest, and the varied adventures of a hard working, day-in day-out rock band. Introspective, insightful, and eloquently observed, Michael B. Koep chronicles a summer season of fifty rock shows performed in small clubs, huge bars, and on outdoor festival stages, in barns, backyards, and the middle of the woods.

Would you like your business......to burst into public awareness like Lady Gaga?...to have the long-lived success of Mick Jagger?...to demonstrate the creativity of The Beatles? We don’t normally think of the music business as a source of entrepreneurial insight, but we should.

And what they know about marketing, partnerships, bartering, and overcoming obstacles isn’t taught in business school.

In his 1967 megahit "San Francisco," Scott McKenzie sang of "people in motion" coming from all across the country to San Francisco, the white-hot center of rock music and anti-war protests.

You’re tired of the dating books. Somehow, they never seem to speak to you. Don’t I “matter”, too? Why are men so depraved of the spiritual wisdom, guidance, and direction that teach the virtues of manhood and how to be a successful bachelor? Romance is a lost “art”.

In the 1960s they entered the realm of popular music, catalyzing the ecstatic experiences that empowered a generation. Exploring how 1960s rock and roll music became a school of visionary art, Christopher Hill shows how music raised consciousness on both the individual and collective levels to bring about a transformation of the planet.
