There are chapters on old bands from the 1930s and 1940s, but the main focus is on Windsor Locks musicians from the 1950s to 2010. Almost all of the musicians from 1950 to 2010 went to Windsor Locks High School, and got their start in music there. There is also a chapter on the Drum Corps of Windsor Locks. All of the chapters on the musicians from 1950 to 2010 were written based on telephone conversations with the musicians and on correspondence with them. There is also a chapter on the WIndsor Locks Middle Sdhool and High School music programs. The musicians range from dance bands, to rock and roll bands, to actors in Broadway musicals, and church musicians. The books gives insights into both the range of musical careers to the changes that the musicians make to stay in the business. The chapters have an abundance of photographs.
