Sandy Gennaro Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson

I feel like I went “home.” Sitting down with Sandy Gennaro after a 30-year abyss was a walk down the wild side of memory lane and just crazy fun. Having a bunch of our old cohorts from back in the day along for the ride made it that much funner.

Sandy took us from Staten Island, getting ignited by The Beatles, local giggin’ and day jobs to LA, meeting an idol, erring’ at a major audition, helping said idol get that gig, Michael Boloton - not a misspelling, before he was Bolton, Pat Travers, playing arenas, to playing with an unknown Cyndi Lauper, who exploded on their first tour, getting that gig thanks to Sandy’s kindness to a stranger. A recurring theme in his story. Great stories along the way, opening for Queen for months at the height of it all, The Monkees, Davy, and Micky, solo as well, Joan Jett… we got stopped there, the time flew and Sandy had another show to do.

We talked family, his marriage which has thrived for 30+ years, his daughter living her dream, she’s had a great teacher, and Sandy’s been a masterful manifester. His recently dropped, Beat the Odds in Business & Life, which is filled with more great stories, how he did and does what he does, and how we can, too. You can get a signed copy with a pair of sticks, at https://sandygennaro.com/beat-the-odds-products/ - Sandy gives good signage! It’s how his career kind of began. It’s all in there.

There was much laughter, smiles from face end to face end, warm remembrances, an all-around great time. There’s so much more to talk about - we’ll be back. Part Two is promised. Part 1s don’t get better.

Here’s the discussed video of Sandy on Carson playing Stump The Band https://bit.ly/3q0L0Ey - killer!
