“Frank Shiner – My Wonderful Spark Plug”
[/vc_column_text][vc_message color=”alert-info” style=”3d”]One of my most cherished guests is New York-based singer Frank Shiner, because he is so approachable and genuine in our interviews. Today’s episode is bonus footage of our most recent talk, and I saved it for Valentine’s Day, because Frank gets the opportunity to talk lovingly about his wife in this one! Their teenage daughter is also is subject of discussion, and it’s crystal clear where Frank’s top priorities are – his family! You’ll still get to grab some wisdom and inspiration from this fantastic entertainer, so listen in on our conversation for a good smile or two!

Suzanne went through hell, which makes her prodding of her husband that night at the bandstand in 2010 even more moving and climactic. She pulled on his heartstrings saying it would bring her great joy if he would sing. Only that got him up on the bandstand.
When Tony the bandleader rushed out to the parking lot afterwards to collar Shiner before he disappeared, it was the start of a beautiful friendship. Shiner grew to love this new character, who would not take no for an answer, and he even came to Shiner’s office over a period of months to spend time with the singer on a campaign to recruit him. “Frank,” Tony said, “music heals the soul.” The singer took the advice to heart, with all that he and his wife were going through with her illness.
“I call her my spark plug!”
