"Wild Boys and Girls Of The Road" is Vol II of Sebastian Jaymes trilogy series "Memoirs From The road To Everywhere." Vol II is the continuation of a true adventure story.
The book opens with the author standing on the deck of a cruise boat on the Nile River in Egypt, reflecting on the most interesting life he has led.
The authors story begins with his Journey across country in a U-Drive It car from The North Coast of America to Los Angeles to begin a new life in California. He arrives in LA with only "a World War II knapsack with extra underwear, socks, an alternate pair of Jeans, and a few shirts, as well as writing materials and a book". Jaymes is on a mission to "see the world on someone else's dime".
Having previously been a roadie then a tour manager for two hit touring bands in the 1960s, he seeks work within the mainstream of the entertainment industry, his best bet for continued travel opportunities that can fulfill his desire to see the world. With no transportation and little money, he first takes every dead-end temp job from unloading boxcars to packaging film orders in a warehouse and everything in between.
Eventually he is able to afford a street legal dirt bike for transportation and works his way into the main stream of the entertainment business short term, as a tour manager for several successful touring artists. Then from a fluke referral he applies for a tour management position with a celebrity entertainer to find the only position available is that of roadie. With funds running out he accepts the position and is eventually catapulted into the highest levels of the industry. That leads to many adventures around the US and around the world. Starting at the bottom of the ladder with that artist, he works his way around the world and in the mainstream, through various jobs on tours and television. Several years later that artist, now a household word in entertainment, promotes him to the job he originally applied for.
When the artist retires, the author, now much in demand in his own right, works for many years with other headline artists on international projects in exotic locations across the globe. Then at a gala affair at the White House in Washington DC, he decides to call it quits to become a producer of worldwide events. The book closes with the author on the deck of the cruise boat on the Nile River reflecting on the even more adventure filled life he is about to embark on as a producer of international events in even more exotic and dangerous locales around the globe.
