You Can Leave Your Hat On

This book is a candid and honest memoir of my relationship with Cory Wells of Three Dog Night; an insight to our time together and a story I waited a long time to tell. Though some might say I shouldn't tell it, he knew that someday I would, knowing how strongly it impacted and defined so much of my life. He was my teen-age crush, my hometown boy and my very close friend. Those are such simple words to describe such a complex and meaningful connection. When I asked should I hide his name, he said, "No, they'll know it's me," and he smiled. It would be overreaching to say he would be pleased, but I do know he would not mind. It has been five years since his passing. The time is now. As Paul McCartney and Wings asked, "How can I tell you about my loved one?" This. This is how.
