Gregg Wetzel, known mostly in these parts as the rock ‘n’ roll piano player for the old Good Humor Band, has written a novel — “Straight Wages.” It was published in paperback on Mar. 3, 2008, by PublishAmerica.
“My novel “Straight Wages” is now available,” said Wetzel by email. “It’s fun for the entire family! All of my obsessions plus plenty of ribaldry and casual violence.”
This blurb about the book’s plot is at Amazon.com:
“In the not-so-swinging ’60s of the small coal-mining towns in central Pennsylvania, three bored young men spend their time joy riding in stolen Chevrolets and drinking beer. When their robbery of a coastal New Jersey business goes terribly wrong, their pursuit by a determined and dangerous employer is the basis for Straight Wages. By turns comically absurd and darkly malevolent, it is inhabited by memorable characters and its vision is quirky and uniquely American.”
