Following Breadcrumbs

As an LA tween in the mid-1960s Jamie Johnston-free-spirited fiercely independent Hollywood brat and daughter of '40s/'50s actor-singer Johnny Johnston (Rock Around the Clock)-had two significant events forever frozen in her mind. The first of these memories she would share with millions-the era-defining appearance of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan in 1964. The second memory however was much more intimate. It was a bright summer's day in 1966 when she stood rapt watching one of the undisputed kings of the Sunset Strip the Byrds' Gene Clark coolly entering the legendary Whisky a Go Go. Little did Jamie know that a mere nine years after having her life changed by the Fab Four her female duo the Skiffles would be signed to a record deal with Beatles producer George Martin or that twenty years hence she would embark upon a passionate affair with the ill-fated ex-Byrd Clark who died at the age of forty-six in 1991. What begins as an up-close-and-personal commentary of an era that changed the world with many of its famous players traversing through the pages evolves into a tragic love story.
