The Outside Looking In Sheila Dechant

I have always wanted to write a book about the unique life and journey that I have been on. Most people who follow Daryl Hall and John Oates will not remember me, other than for being "Mrs. Casual" -- married to "Mr. Casual" Charlie DeChant, the sax, flute, keyboard and background vocalist for more than 40 years. I have lived and seen the life of the music world. It has not been an easy lifestyle. Rather, it's been quite an amazing experience that has left me excited, exhausted, and, sometimes, even depressed. This is my story.
