Hey gang! Big news from the wild world of The Banana Seat Squad! After months of brainstorming, outlining, and reliving every detail of my 1977 summer in Enid, Oklahoma, the plot and storyline are officially locked in! What started as scattered memories has transformed into a full-fledged adventure story, now spanning 18 chapters—with a few more still on the way.
This isn’t just any book. It’s a nostalgic ride through long summer days, glowing object in the sky, banana seat bikes, and a CB radio with a secret. It’s a coming-of-age story, a little sci-fi, a lot of heart, and totally soaked in ‘70s vibes.
But that’s not all… I’ve designed a brand new Banana Seat Squad tee, and it’s available now at Zoinkies.com! Whether you grew up in the ‘70s or just love that groovy vibe, this shirt is packed with retro flair and BSS spirit.
The story now has its own official AI soundtrack! I’ve created two original Banana Seat Squad songs, and they’re now live on SoundCloud. You can listen, download, and add them to your nostalgic summer playlists.
The songs are just an example of what we might be adding to an original soundtrack. At this time the songs are being created using AI at Songer.com.
The music video has been uploaded to YouTube. The photos and everything in the video are from Enid right around 1977. There are pics that include all five of the main characters just the way they looked back then. Watch the video on YouTube.
If you haven’t caught the teaser yet, it’s a short and sweet intro to the story. It captures the spirit of friendship, freedom, and mystery that defines the book. Here’s the teaser:
Strap on your rainbow-striped banana seat, crank up Boston on your turntable, and ride straight into the wildest summer Enid, Oklahoma has ever seen.
It’s 1977.
Five boys.
One glowing object in the sky.
And a green AMC Gremlin that just might save the future.
Meet the Banana Seat Squad—a gang of goofball best friends riding bikes, jumping on trampolines, skateboarding, and playing outdoor games while the street lights glowed. But one night, everything changes when a glowing object—and a mysterious girl crackles to life on the CB radio.
Loaded with 70s nostalgia, epic friendships, bike rides, and unexpected twists, this is a coming-of-age adventure soaked in summer sun and wrapped in a Dr. Demento mix tape.
Stay tuned—I’ll be sharing more sneak peeks, character spotlights, and chapter excerpts in the coming weeks. I can’t wait for you to meet the Banana Seat Squad and experience the summer that changed everything.
