Overview

THE LAST GREAT ANTENNA INSTALLER is a factual telling of a boy from Dellwood, USA. Follow ""The Master"" from age 6-63 as he navigates all that life can afford him. The book examines a world that evolves around him, luring him into the center. He is naïve to a promised, obvious path, and he runs blindly to another light. With an early gift of self-making, he takes the road unsafe and untraveled. He discovers electricity by total accident and is enamored. Soon the smiles of satisfaction of those requiring his service fuel the fire within and without concern or question he is in business for himself. Turn the pages of time from one location to the next, spanning a lifetime of providing for the family at any cost. The 50-year lease, the drugs, the divorce, the police, the aliens from California, and the cars, the cars, the cars! The telling contains a chronicled and pictorial history of car stereo in the U.S. from when car stereo became car stereo until it perished. From AM Radio, which made him the greatest antenna installer of all time, to auto security, then the cassette, Dolby, the 808 kick-drum, and finally, the almighty CD, which propelled the sound to a new level. Be there the day St. Louis gave birth to the subwoofer. Take a trip down advertising lane in the 70s, the 80s, and into the millennium. Come ride with me over 60 years, where there is good there must be bad, where there is happiness, there must be grief to contrast, but you can do it! Examine my decisions in life to better make your own, manifest your future and well-being... expect the unexpected, and fight back! Be at the right place at the right time. Don't miss one chance to propel yourself to the next rung on the ladder of life. Everybody has their something! Find your love, be the Master! Nothing is impossible. Any task can be conquered. Time will never prevent you from anything. Time is plentiful. Don't lose your vision: YOU CAN DO IT! By LENNY TOCCO (c) 2025

Reviews

""The Last Great Antenna Installer"" is a wonderful read. It is a lighthearted telling, yet the story of the author Lenny Tocco comes shining through. Lenny ran and operated car stereo installation shops for much of his adult life. As the title suggests, the business went by the way of the buggy whip business and Lenny adapted to other related things. This third book by Lenny was written to chronicle his journey as a business owner and entrepreneur. It tells of the inner workings of the hot rod and muscle car business and the tech that grew up with it. It also is a great look back at the neighborhoods that spawned the business, and how Lenny owned that part of the world. If you owned a car in the 70's, 80's or 90's, you will smile remembering the stories described in the book. A great read. After you finish, you will feel like you were there by his side, reaching under the dash with a screwdriver in your teeth and wire nuts in your pocket the entire time.
