Dave Maynard was the quirky mainstay of WBZ radio in Boston for more than 40 years. His acclaimed "Maynard in the Morning" was the leader in its time slot for the entire time it was on the air. His commercials for the show, which won advertising awards, always ended with a disheveled Dave saying, "Piece of Cake." Included in The Dave Maynard Spin are memorable moments with such luminaries as Louis Armstrong, Danny Kaye, Angie Dickinson, Tony Bennett, Jimmy Stewart, and Richard Simmons, to name a few. On television, he was the longtime host of Community Auditions, forerunner of Star Search. Some of his memorable moments are recounted for the reader's enjoyment. As spokesperson for Crim-son Travel Co., Dave had the privilege of leading thousands, who enjoyed tours for more than 22 years, including the first groups to be allowed to tour China and Russia. Those escapades are included in this book.
