Tones Clones and Bones

While being on a rock and roll tour is intriguing, it is neither uncomplicated nor glamorous. An industry loaded with crooked people and con artists around every turn makes being on the road an arduous journey. Living on a tour bus for weeks to months at a time turns what appears extravagant into a moving prison that never escapes the obstacles of the tour.



Pulling it all together and driving a successful tour to its completion is an art form. Touring partners Jeb and Neusy, have organized and executed a lifetime of successful tours. Their extensive knowledge and experience created the ideal touring partnership that can navigate the toughest of circumstances. Working like no other team, they have propelled tours forward that otherwise would have fallen apart and collapsed.



Now the touring partners who escaped murders that plagued their last tour signed on for another tour with the world's greatest guitarist, "the Doctor" Jurgen Weislangwolf.



The Doctor while being a brilliant guitarist brings added complications that an ordinary tour never experiences. Nothing about a rock and roll tour that features the Doctor is predictable, including his quest for spiritual enlightenment. While not wanting to ride the wave with the Doctor, Jeb and Neusy agreed to the production needed to complete the Doctor's journey and the tour commences.



With a new friend that leads the way, Jeb and Neusy do what they do best, which is steer the Doctor's one man solo tour in the right direction always moving forward. The Doctor's never revealed personal agenda consistently challenges the two. They have come to ignore it, mocking the Doctor constantly while he sails down these passages.



Their working relationship is invariably evolving. They have developed a partnership rarely seen in the business. Jeb and Neusy always find the solution to whatever ridiculous situation arises on the road at the same time being able to communicate across a room without spoken words.





All appears normal or at least typical for a tour involving the Doctor. The ordinary obstacles that hinders a tour do not phase the pair one bit. They effortlessly uncomplicate these hurdles without anyone cognizant to the issue at hand.



Overcoming a booking agent that has his own financial future as his number one priority and problematic promoters and managers of venues across the tour interrupting their momentum is routine. Even the impedance of the Doctor's personal life and daily deviations are easily thwarted and become mundane.



Jeb and Neusy start to see a concerning resemblance to the previous tour. Dreading what this could imply, they are determined to make the tour a success. Once the killer materializes and the murders begin, it is apparent that what plagued the last tour has started again.



Having the FBI's interest once the missing bass player made a miraculous return, the FBI already had two agents along to chaperone the tour and identify what happened last tour and safeguard the tour from possible future sabotage. With help from a suave and dapper freelance Canadian detective, they were confident in their dominance and that nothing could escape their authority.



The tour takes many unexpected developments, as the killer revels in constant interactions with the authoritative figures and easily deludes them. Reveling in his mayhem and deception, the killer is content being back on the road where he was born to be.



With a diverse and comical crew and set in an industry that already creates its own satire, "Tones, Clones and Bones" is a comical ride on a fictional rock and roll tour written by authors who experienced and witnessed it all.
