This typescript text of some 345pp is enhanced with original photographs, post-cards, and clippings from other publications. It is an unpublished autobiography of Spears, the musician. The narrative is as much a chronicle of interesting small local and regional events told in the first person, as it is a documentation of Spear's musical adaptability in applying his percussion talents for all occasions.
Fifty-one years a drummer, forty-three years a teacher, John Pearl Spears
