Charlie Wiener has been a professional comedian, songwriter, singer and musician for fifty years. He’s written seven books; A Life in The Wings, 4 novels, a children's book, and a biography. He’s performed throughout the US, Canada, Ireland and the Netherlands.

My second guest is David Spero. Early on he spent years working as a DJ. He’s worked for Columbia Pictures. He was the Senior Director of Programming at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. Working for many years in talent management, he’s been the manager for Joe Walsh, Harry Nilsson, Michael Stanley, Dickey Betts, Dave Mason, Billy Bob Thornton, Paul Rodgers, Kenny Loggins, & Yusuf Islam AKA Cat Stevens to name just a few. His book My Life in the Wings was released last month and I absolutely urge you to check it out. It is available online ( a-life-in-the-wings.square.site) and can be found easily on Amazon.
