“Jeff Lemlich’s vitality and enthusiasm for rock ‘n roll are equaled by his demand for accuracy. His writing delivers more than the reader expects. Jeff was able to tell me more about my life than I remembered – a remarkable mind. A true rock detective.”
–Jeffrey Allen, drummer for the Montells and Evil
“Jeff Lemlich’s wonderful work is not only well written and documented, but good, memory-provoking entertainment.”
–Travis “Fairchild” Ximenes, leader of the Clefs of Lavender Hill“All in all, it was a thrill to thumb through the pages and see my life flash back.”
–Henry Stone, “Godfather” of Florida rock and soul, and former President of TK Productions

Hi Steve,
I do have a few copies left, though not very many. I can only send to U.S. customers at this time. Here’s the order page:

Thanks, Jeff
Hi Jeffrey,
I just saw a video by Norm of Norman’s Rare Guitars that talked about your book SAVAGE LOST! I was unaware of such a great resource for Florida band history! Do you have any copies for sale? I had a band in the 60’s called the DAWN PATROL that played in the Ocala, FL area for a couple of years. No big deal. But, my brother, Tom Richards, was the lead guitarist for The Royal Guardsmen (SNOOPY vs. THE RED BARON) and they practiced in my parents garage throughout their short career. The Royal Guardsmen signed their record contract at my parents home in 1966 with Phil Gernhard & Dick Holler. My dad, O.T. Richards, even filled the roll of road manager for a time! I’m currently working on a museum display of Guardsmen memorabilia for a new museum in Ocala at the old American Legion Hall where the band’s former incarnation (The Posemen) played several times. Again, please let me know if you have any copies left for purchase!
Sincerely,
Courtland W. Richards
