Charlie Mariano Today

[stevebop]

In a recent telephone conversation with Charlie Mariano's daughter, Cynthia, she told me that he wasn't doing too well, healtwise. At age 84 he is battling cancer. She also told me he would love to hear from friends and fans and she gave me this information so you can reach out to him.

I know a card or email message would help to pick up his spirits.

Thanks!

I will add, that I interviewed him on the phone maybe about 10 years ago when he was appearing in Boston - one of the nicest people I ever spoke to -

Yesterday I talked with Sahron Levinson - Charlie's agent. She told me that Charlie is getting better and has already begun performing again at venues near by. He is still in therapy, and they are hoping for the best.
