Book excerpt: Some snippets of feedback from readers communicated on Facebook from UK and USA: David Faill in UK, "I still think your book, Inger, gives a much better, and more enjoyable, flavour of London at the height of the sixties";Sioux Abernethy Lucas in USA, "I guess I don't want it to end!! đ I am finishing up the "Down The Speak" chapter. It's still the most fascinating read I've just about ever encountered! I almost feel like I am living those years with you, Inger, and I am most reluctant to finish it! What a wonderful, engrossing book! I shall get to the last chapter tomorrow night, and I'm sure I'll be wishing for, and dreaming of, a sequel!!"; Bob Smarse jr.in UK, "Philip Arthur Dennis Wadely! Does he still hold the key to your heart? I just finished the chapter 'Landing In Hollywood'! I am really beginning to read between the lines. What a life you have lived. Thank You So Much for all of your work putting your Excellent book together. I need to re-read certain chapters over again. Your encounter dancing with Kim Fowley was rather humorous. Jeff Beck! Glyn Johns! I do feel at many times you were in over your head, so to speak. But, you still forged ahead. A pretty blonde girl! Who would ever imagine the roller-coaster ride that phase would bring into your heart? I will continue to read but I can only imagine what it must have been like to mix it up with so many famous people, as well as times. There Shall Never be any other time like the period between 1963-1973. It's all there in your book! Dancing with Brian Jones! My Goodness!"It was the decade of long lasting changes and great creativity; it was the decade of miniskirts, bell bottoms, the British Invasion, flower power, sit-ins, be-ins, blowing minds and some of the best music ever played. And I was there!! This is my story about traveling through it all: From a small village deep in a Norwegian fjord to mingle with the in-crowd in London, after having been "rescued" by the R&B band, The Pretty Things; going to a Roman Polanski wrap party; back stage and to recording studios with The Rolling Stones, meeting The Beatles, love affairs and relationships with troubled gifted musicians like Phil May, Jeff Beck, Bob Weston and Keith Moon. And everlasting love and friendship with New York based musician Sal Maida. Living and working in New York, San Francisco, New-Mexico and Los Angeles, most of the time as a single mom. Poor, but still hanging with the rich and famous, spending an Easter Weekend at an old castle in Ireland as guest of folk singer Donovan and wife. The guest list also included George Harrison and Pattie Boyd. Independent, curious, and rebellious describe the author best. Or as long time friend Robert Altman, photographer of stars, put it: "Pleasing to the eye". The book contains some wonderful photos, and several of the celebrity photos are rare and to the author's knowledge, never before published." You did a bang up job and it was worth the while. I loved reading the life and times of Inger Simonsen." - Robert Altman
