The first book, ‘Almost a Star’ of the 4 book autobiography , ‘Once Upon a Star’
245 pages and 32 photos
After many years of writing, Lonnie has finally published the first two of the four books which tell the story of his amazing life.
It features his family history back to Prussia in the 1500s, through his life as the product of a broken and abused, yet privileged family. The many challenges he faced during years in boarding school, and the horrors that it brought to this shy young boy.
His dual life as a young boy on the family sheep station 650 klms from Sydney and the young teenager who in 1956 at 15 years old, introduced Elvis Presley to Sydney radio and who not long after, would become one of Australia’s first Rockabilly stars.
In January 1957 Bill Haley and his Comets brought Rock’n’Roll to Australia, and 3 weeks later this young teenager won 2 contests to help promote the near unknown Elvis to the growing Rock’n’Roll audiences.
The book is packed with incredible memories. Incidents that gave birth to the success of his Rockabilly Band, right up to the accident that within a few minutes, ‘stopped his career and his music’.
A 17 year old with a multitude of fans who followed him to show after show, to a lonely jackaroo tending to the sheep and cattle on his family’s property, hundreds of miles from nowhere. Then a year later back to Sydney to try to pick up his music path.
It wouldn’t be long before his records were topping the parades, and he was singing his heart out to thousands of adoring fans across Australia, which is all documented in book 2, ‘Starlight Starbright, 348 pages with 102 photos.
These the first 2 of four books that trace his amazing life, right up until the present.

WHO AM I
Over the years as well as hundreds of songs, Lonnie has written many poems and some of them he has included in his book..
These were written in the mid 1960’s as he was in a self-realisation stage, searching for who he was, why was he here and where was he going.
Consequently some of the poems are quite deep and metaphysical.
Thousands of photographs have been taken on Lonnie and we have taken approximately 700 of them and set them up in a beautiful large glossy coffee table book. They are from shows, promotions photos, photos in magazines, family photos all of them from his own personal collection.
He has recently written his own autobiography which will be a fascinating, albeit long read. If you wish to be notified when this is available please join the Newsletter.
Here is Lonnie talking about the book and showing some of it’s pages.
He has written these two booklets about Six O’Clock Rock and Johnny O’Keefe
