Arlene Who? I m sure you asked yourself this when you picked
up this book, yet this non-celebrity status is my best creden-
tial. Like many of you, I ve been known as the lady of the
house, someone s wife--or Leo s, or David s, or Sherrie s, or
Jeffrey s mother--or the organ player. Like many of you, I
don t have a special clause in my contract that calls for limo
service, or a ride-along chiropractor, or a tag-along masseuse
or mystic--or any of the pampering that comes with star sta-
tus. For forty-five years, I ve done it all myself. And, many
times, it seemed I was doing it all at once. Wife. Mother. Band
Manager. Band Member. With these demanding jobs, I
bounced around more than a Mexican jumping bean. Today,
they call it the "Super Woman Syndrome"--back then, they
called it crazy.
Once upon a time, my whole life was house and kids. Per-
haps if I d hung around the garage sales and the junior base-
ball leagues--talked to young mothers like myself--I would
have accepted the isolation that motherhood brings, but here s
where my story differs. Each time the kids and I visited
Grandma, I d hear my younger sisters talk about their life in
the band. While I was boasting about Sherrie s new tooth, or
Davy s potty training--Nancy, Patti, and Suzi giggled over late
nights, lusty men, and wild applause.
