Boch Rock Facts:
A Cool Collection of Rock 'n' Roll Memories,
by Ernie Boch, Jr.

Music has always been a real passion in Ernie's life, so when a Boston radio station asked him to write a weekly, one minute, "Rock Fact," he was intrigued by the idea.

When the Boston Herald asked to print it each week, he just couldn't say no.

Ernie's taken a collection of his "Rock Facts," and created a book called Boch Rock Facts: A Cool Collection of Rock 'n' Roll Memories, by Ernie Boch, Jr.

He had a lot of fun putting these 1 minute stories together. Pick up a copy today. All proceeds benefit Music Drives Us.
