This book is about the best 'Headphone Music' ever recorded, at least in the opinion of California writer, Stark Hunter-a baby boomer and old hippie, born in 1952. With a lifetime of listening to all genres of music under his belt, it is his opinion this book contains the best music to hear while wearing headphones, or in today's vernacular, ear buds.

Scenes from the Cerebellum is the 9th literary work to be released through Mind Tavern. It is easy to say that it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what this book is, was or will be.
