From Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to Stephen Stills and the Eagles' Don Felder and Bernie Leadon, Gainesville cultivated some of the most celebrated musicians and songwriters of the time. Marty Jourard, a member of the chart-topping band the Motels, delves into the individual stories of the musicians, businesses and promoters that helped foster innovative, professional music and a vibrant creative atmosphere during the mid-sixties and seventies.;Preface -- See You Later, Alligator -- From Hootenanny to A Hard Day's Night -- London Calling -- People Got to Be Free -- I Can Hear Music -- Getting Better -- Stoned Soul Picnic -- Something in the Air -- Disco Inferno -- Golden Years -- Go Your Own Way -- A Place in the Sun.
