In this episode we “check-it” with Kurt “Slap Daddy” Wagner. Those of you who are familiar with Kurt know him as the stage manager to mega acts like the Rolling Stones, Guns n Roses, Cher, Prince, Billy Joel, Roger Waters and so many others. We chat about how he got his start at the Royal Oak Theater in Detroit and how the comedian Gallagher convinced him to move to Los Angeles where his career launched. He and I laugh our way through his recollection of the early days and reminisce on the opportunities that opened the doors to a long and successful career.  We also get into our shared love of baseball.
