The
Life and Times of Jerry "Boogie" McCain: The Real Thing by Grover Brown is
a tribute to Boogie, who passed last year. Boogie asked Brown to write his
life's story, and the two spent many hours with their heads together putting it
together. Sadly, Boogie did not live to see the book's publication.
Boogie's niece Mary Elizabeth McCain Wise said, "...As I turned the
pages and began to read, the words became "alive" and I could hear Jerry speak
to me. There are events of sadness, joyous events of laughter, my family
history, dialect of my family, his hobbies and his music and also, his recipes.
But, the most touching part to me was sharing his last days and the importance
of his friends. Truly this book is the life of Jerry. It is for real! It
is the real thing!"
