From the Back Cover
The dictionary defines Raconteur as one who tells stories with skill and wit. This is the perfect description of Jeff Wayne as he relates original stories of show business legends Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, The Beatles, Bela Lugosi, Andy Kaufman, Jay Leno, Pavoroti, Gary Cooper, and a host of others.

Jeff Wayne is one of the busiest entertainers working today. Television, theaters, comedy clubs, Las Vegas, tours of Europe, he has done it all. Variety has called Jeff A laugh riot. A modern version of Will Rogers. The Los Angeles Times said, This is one hysterical comic.

Jeffs comic brilliance is only matched by his fascination with the truly great Show Business talents. It has driven him to meet many of his idols and extract from them some of their best stories. Not that it always has been easy. After a grueling night with Debbie Reynolds, Jeff found himself begging the aging star to let him go home! Not to mention a very hilarious moment backstage with Jerry Lewis just as his famed telethon was about to go on the air!

So pour yourself a glass of wine, relax, and listen. Jeff will tell you what happened to Errol Flynn at the infamous orgy of Havana midgets! The NAKED truth behind Sheena Eastons outrageous backstage behavior! And the shocking reason the tape of Elvis last concert must never be shown! Plus much much more! Told with all the wit and relish that only a RACONTEUR can!

Enjoy!
