Title: Wonderful coming of age story
Review: Life in a dust-bowl pre-Depression era comes across dramatically in Rudy's story like you were there to join the town's grief when a car wreck kills his best friend, when his favorite cousin dies of "the consumption" and as Rudy grimly copes with his selfish widowed mother. You share his unashamed pleasure in making music with an undistinguished seven-piece band in dance halls so predictably familiar on hundreds of middle America's unpaved main streets. A memorable story of a kid born into impressively hard times and how he survives.
