Charles Farrell -476

Today’s guest is very much a member of the Damon Runyon school of characters. Charles Farrell is not only an accomplished jazz pianist, he has also been a key player in the boxing world for decades. From Floyd Patterson to Don King and scores of managers, promoters and celebrities to the fighters – both champs and bums – he knows as much about the “game” as anyone. Charles shares his insights in his new pseudo-memoir entitled, “The Legend of ‘Mitch Blood Green’ and Other Boxing Essays.” One doesn’t have to be a boxing fan or know much about pugilism to appreciate and enjoy his story!
