When I signed up for a podcast interview with Jamie (link here & below ), I had no idea he was such a famous New York City entertainer.
I’ll admit it: I’ve become a bit star-struck! When you read his bio, you’ll see why.
I just finished Jamie’s excellent book, Dangerous When Wet , and I loved it! What a whirlwind life he’s had!
